Introduction Aitken College is committed to providing our students with opportunities to access the curriculum through 21st Century technologies. This commitment will help prepare students for a world where the only constant is change. We believe that encouraging students to use iPads in the classroom to help them with their learning, organisation and productivity will be of enormous benefit. Aitken College is excited about this opportunity and is sure that it will result in increased opportunities for creativity and learning. We see the iPad as a tool to support key processes in learning -‐ accessing, organising, processing and publishing information, collaboration, creativity and communication -‐ and for teachers to use them as an environment to facilitate deeper engagement in learning and higher-‐ordering thinking.
“iPad inspires creativity and hands-‐on learning with features you won’t find in any other educational tool — on a device that students really want to use. Powerful built-‐ in apps and apps from the App Store let students engage with content in interactive ways, find information in an instant, and access an entire library wherever they go. And now, with the introduction of M ulti-‐ Touch textbooks, iPad takes learning to a whole new level.” http://www.apple.com/education/iPad/
Benefits to Students Digital Citizenship teaches students how to be discerning when accessing content and supports the ethical use of technology. Students will be supported with their ability to extend their own learning independently and they will be provided with a tool for improved communication between teachers, students and parents and encouraged to become life-‐ long learners.

The iPad is a tool for learning These are our expectations: • • • •
• • • •
• • •
Students need an Apple iTunes account with password and this is not to be shared with any other student. (Further information later in this booklet) Have the latest iOS installed on the iPad. The iPad should be brought to school each day, charged and ready to be used. The charger should be left at home to avoid losing it at school. Your iPad must be protected by a case. There are many cases on the market. We would recommend a cover that gives all around protection. The iPad should be kept in its case at all times to avoid damage. iPads are to be stored in lockers when not required in class. Students must abide by the ICT policies set in place by the College at all times. The iPad is to be used responsibly and students comply with teachers’ instructions to put the device away. It is strongly recommended that a passcode is set up on your iPad to prevent others accessing your information as well as the “Find my iPad” app in case your iPad is missing so that it can be located. Have the student’s College assigned e-‐mail account set up on the iPad mail app. Students are responsible for backing up and managing their own data either through iCloud or iTunes. The College will be supplying you with a safe personal online storage space for resources and work in progress (Elocker). Students may wish to set up their own Dropbox or iCloud service for storing data.
4
Digital Workflow iPads have greatly assisted with our workflows within the College. We have two customised apps that our students find indispensable:
eLocker Aitken has its own ‘Cloud’ called ‘eLocker’! All students have their own personal eLocker that only they can access and also a series of class shared eLockers as eLocker is mapped to the timetable so that all students and staff are able to see the relevant information. Teachers are able to easily share information with their students and students can deliver work to their teachers using a dropbox. Teachers can mark work with digital ink and leave verbal feedback to assist students with their work. eLocker is available as an app on the iPad and also as a web based portal so accessible from any computer with internet access.
Electronic Diary All students have access to an electronic diary to assist them with their organisation and homework. Students are able to add their own homework and see their homework load and their teachers are able to add homework for their students that cannot be deleted! All teachers have their own version of the app. There is a parent app to enable parents to see what homework their children have been given and any due dates. This is available from iPhones or iPads and also as a web-‐based service from any desktop PC, laptop or Android tablet or smartphone.
5
How are iPads being used? Students are expected to use their iPad in an appropriate and safe manner at all times. The more our students and staff use their iPads, the more ways they find to use them to support teaching and learning. Students currently use their iPads to access, communicate, collaborate and share information – email their teachers using their Aitken Mail, deliver work to their teachers and collaborate on a whole range of topics. iPads have become an indispensable tool to aid personal organisation, creativity and inquiry for all students and staff. Here are some examples of the many ways our students use their iPad: • Photographs – their work, board notes, College environment, steps of a practical task, animation projects. Students are reminded that they should only take photographs of teachers/other students with consent. • Film making, animation creation • Video group activities, experiments, College environment, demonstrations • Internet research and using specific websites • A variety of apps – Calculator, Pages, Keynote, Creative Bookbuilder and many more • Using the dictionary, thesaurus or atlas • Recording a voice memo – homework, reminders, podcasting • Reading an eBook, The Bible, magazines or periodicals • Listening to an audiobook or podcast • Making a note of homework and deadlines, adding homework to their digital diary • Watching video clips and accessing the ClickView digital video library • Creating multimedia presentations or podcasts • Scanning QR codes and accessing information • Using the scanning app to scan a document • Converting measurements, using a compass, level or ruler • Creating documents, graphs, spreadsheets, presentations • Downloading a document from iTunes U e.g. instructional booklets, school map • Responding to a quiz e.g. Socrative app • Planning, Concept mapping and brainstorming e.g. Inspiration Maps • Digital publishing – creating impressive magazines • ePortfolio creation using Creative Book Builder or Book Creator • Accessing classwork or submitting work using eLocker • Researching using the internet or the Zenhat app • Making digital posters • Accessing their digital textbooks • Music creation • Storyboarding
6
Student use of iPads at home Students should take their iPad home and bring it to school each day fully charged. iPads may be required to complete homework or to access and submit work through their eLocker. The College recommends parents take the following measures: • • • •
•
Students should use the iPad in an area of the home where its use can be visually monitored Ask your child to show you for what they have used their iPad. They should provide their device to you on request Place restrictions on use of the device if it is not being used in a way that suits you If you are concerned about controlling Internet content that can be accessed, the College recommends using a free service such as OpenDNS (www.opendns.com) to filter Internet content for your home. It is a relatively simple to use tool whereby you can manage access to content categories. The service also works with most home Wi-‐Fi routers and ADSL gateways iPads should be connected to your home wireless systems
Student use of iPads at school The following is a list of the expectations students are to accept when using iPads at school. Students are expected to: • Follow all teacher directions including when and how to use the device • Have the volume of devices muted at the beginning of each lesson • Use appropriate manners when communicating electronically • Close down all apps at the beginning of the lesson • Provide their device to teachers upon request • Students are required to maintain and clean their device and keep it in good order • Students are required to inform the teacher or others when using the camera and audio recording functions and are reminded that they must not publish photographs to any online network. • Students may only access their device during recess and lunch, for the purpose of explicit school work and NOT games. Teachers have permission to delete games from the iPad if they are being played in school without permission. If the iPad is being used at lunchtime it should be used in the Library. • Students are required to have the device fully charged at the beginning of each school day and have a working set of headphones with them in all classes. • Students are required to actively check their school email for communications from the College. • Students may not loan their device to another student or leave it in such a place where it is likely to be damaged or stolen. • Students must only download appropriately rated applications.
7
•
They must not jailbreak their iPad (Change the operating system so that they can install apps that are not just from Apple – this also voids the warranty)
A balance between the use of digital technologies and physical activities is essential. • Students must commit to a healthy lifestyle by using mobile devices only when relevant during the school day. • Students must commit to a balance of the use of the device at home.
Internet Safety and Content Filtering at Aitken Netbox Blue filters all email and Internet traffic at Aitken to ensure that our students are provided with a safe environment in which to use any College owned computer or mobile device as well as personal mobile devices. Content is filtered to ensure that no inappropriate material can be viewed or downloaded by our students. Netbox checks for inappropriate messaging and also monitors Aitken Mail. We block certain sites and services for students and maintain a vigilant approach to ensure that students are able to use their iPads to assist them with their learning.
Setting up an iTunes Account Apple's current terms and conditions state that users must be 13 years of age or older to have a personal Apple ID. This means that prior to 13 years of age, the Apple ID associated with a child's iPad is the parents' or guardians' Apple ID for that device, and not the student's. Consequently, we ask parents and guardians of children under the age of 13 to create and manage their child's Apple ID. Parents can decide whether to continue to manage their child's Apple ID once he/she turns 13 years of age. (See Appendix 1 from Apple on how to set up an iTunes account for your child) Another alternative would be to set up a family iTunes account. This is particularly beneficial should there be more than one child in the family with an iPad or iPhone since apps can be legally loaded on up to 5 devices. Apps would therefore only need to be purchased once and then shared amongst the family devices. We absolutely recommend that the iTunes account is set up without linking it to any credit or debit card to ensure that the maximum amount that can be spent in the App Store at any one time is the amount of money left on the iTunes card. (Details Later in this booklet)
Giftcardsonsale Giftcardsonsale.com.au is a very useful website to find out where the latest offer on iTunes cards are e.g. 20% iTunes cards at Woolworths, Coles, JB Hi-‐Fi etc. Buying iTunes cards when
8
they are on sale is a good way to buy iTunes cards and reducing the costs of any App Store purchases.
Purchasing an iPad Which iPad? We highly recommend purchasing a full sized iPad with a minimum specification of 32GB Wi-‐Fi*. We do not recommend an iPad with 3G or cellular capacity, as we are only able to monitor Wi-‐Fi through the College filtering service. 64GB or 128GB iPads are also fine but our experience tells us that a 16GB iPad does not have sufficient capacity especially when loaded with digital textbooks. iPad Minis are also quite popular but we would advise caution when buying an iPad Mini because of the size of the screen and as this is the only mobile device the student will have access to in the College, they might find the screen size too small when typing documents or reading ebooks. We have suggested iPad 3 32GB or above as a minimum standard, but Apple have recently updated their iPad collection to include the new iPad Air and this will also be good. If you are considering an iPad Mini, have a look at the new iPad Air – there is very little difference in weight but the iPad Air has a much better screen size. Where do you purchase your iPad? – Wherever the best deal is at the time! *Original iPad 1 does not have a camera and can no longer be updated to the latest iOS so is not suitable for use in the College.
AppleCare We recommend purchasing iPads with AppleCare in case any problems occur with the iPad. AppleCare extends technical, hardware and software support to your iPad to 2 years. If there is a problem you are able to take your iPad into an Apple Store for assistance e.g. Chadstone, Doncaster, Fountain Gate or Highpoint.
Insurance AppleCare is not accidental insurance and accidents do sometimes happen! Please check with your household insurance provider to see whether the iPad is covered for accidental damage. It might be that for a very small premium, you are able to cover the iPad alongside your regular household insurance.

iPad Setup We will provide assistance to our students in setting up their iPads at the beginning of the College year and the Aitken Genius Bar is a student run iPad Helpdesk and is available in the Library during lunchtimes.
App Purchases The College recommends the following set of apps for all students. The prices are given as an indication of cost – please be aware that some apps vary in price from time to time. These apps should be downloaded at home for the beginning of the College year. Students cannot access the App Store during the day at Aitken. Students may be asked to download free apps throughout the year for some subjects as new and suitable apps emerge. Any subject specific apps will be issued with the booklist for 2014 but any paid for apps after this time will be provided by the College. Parents will not be asked to pay for apps throughout the year.

Instructions for setting up an iTunes account without a credit card When using your iPad for the first time, it will need to be associated with an iTunes account. You can set up your iPad through a home or other wireless connection, or by connecting it to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. It is a good idea to have an iTunes account set up and ready before you do this. It will be necessary to have your iPad set up and ready for use before bringing it to school. Steps for setting up iTunes on a computer (the steps you complete will be very similar to the following): • • • •
•
•
•
Start iTunes Click on the Store menu item at the top of the page Click on Create Account, then click Continue At the next screen you will need to read and agree to the Apple iTunes Terms & Conditions. Before proceeding, you will need to tick the box that says “I have read
and agree to the iTunes Terms and Conditions”, then click Continue At the next screen, enter your e-‐mail address (this can be a parent or family email address as it will be used for App Store purchases). Enter and remember a password, security question and birthday, then click continue. We recommend that you use a complex password of eight or more upper and lower case alpha-‐numeric characters as well as a symbol. For example: K1w1Fruit# (do not use this exact same password!) At the payment options screen, select None. Enter an iTunes Gift Card number as shown below You will also need to fill in the required information such as name and address details, then click Continue The next screen should then prompt you to ‘Verify Your Account’. After clicking ‘Done’, check your e-‐mail for the verification e-‐mail and follow its instructions to activate your iTunes account. 22
•
iTunes would then prompt you to enter your account Apple ID and Password to Sign In, after which you should see a ‘Congratulations’ or welcome message. Once clicking Done, you will be taken to the iTunes Store homepage
We recommend that parents have access to the e-‐mail account that is used to set up the iTunes account or that this is a family iTunes account. This way purchases can be monitored and tracked. If a credit card is used, parents should be in charge of the iTunes account so that they are able to track purchases. All in app purchases should be disabled in the settings so that additional charges cannot be accrued. If and when you upgrade your iPad to a newer model, your purchases can be easily moved to the new device so they do not need to be purchased again. If you have more than one child at the College, the same iTunes account can be used for your children and apps only need to be purchased once and then synchronised onto their individual devices.
23
The most cost effective method of buying apps is by buying iTunes gift cards as then only a limited amount of money can be spent on apps. Discounts of up to 25% are available from many retailers. Please see www.giftcardsonsale.com.au for current promotions.
24

After switching on your iPad for the first time, follow the instructions on the iPad screen to set up iCloud (you will need to be connected to the Internet to do this). Within the iCloud settings area, you will be able to enable and disable individual iCloud services such as the synching of Documents, Photos, etc. You will also be able to enable Backup by turning on the iCloud Backup feature within the Storage & Backup area
Please see the online guide at: www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ for more information

Loss or damage In the event of loss or damage, students must report the incident to their teacher or Head of School immediately. Where this occurs, while not at school, students/parents must report the incident to the police and then to the Deputy Principal as soon as practical. Parent/Guardian of the student will be responsible for repairing/replacing the iPad due to loss or damage for immediate future use by the student.
26
Frequently Asked Questions Must all students have their own iPad? Yes, all students must have an iPad. From the beginning of 2014 all students in Years 6-‐10 will be required to have their own iPad. Will parents be required to pay for apps from the Apple App store? The College will supply a list of apps both free and paid for apps. Final subject specific apps will be provided along with booklists for 2014. Students may be required to download free apps as they are released throughout the year. Any additional paid apps after the booklist has been issued will be distributed to students via redemption codes in the iTunes Store. Will my child need to have my credit card details to register an Apple ID Account? No, it is possible to create a “free” Apple ID account. For paid apps we recommend the use of iTunes gift cards rather than allowing children to use their parents’ credit cards. We also recommend that ‘in app’ purchases are disabled in the settings to prevent accidental purchases of tempting offers that may require payment. Are students able to install games? Yes, students may install games. Students may customise the device as they see fit, provided there is still sufficient space for educational resources and the student follows the Acceptable Use Policy. Games must be age and content suitable. Can students have their allocated iPad taken from them? Yes, the College reserves the right to remove the device from a student at the discretion of the teacher. An iPad may be removed permanently for serious or repeated misuse of the Acceptable Use Policy. Parents would of course be notified of serious misuse. Can you print from the iPad? Not directly at present, but students will have access to an ‘ELocker’ which will allow them to print their work from another device at school or share with their teachers and other students. We are currently investigating methods of allowing students to print from their iPad and students will be informed as and when this becomes available. Will students’ internet use be monitored at school? Yes, whilst connected to the College network infrastructure internet usage is followed. Parents are encouraged to monitor use of the iPad at home. What happens if students tether their device at school? Tethering the iPad involving the use of a mobile phone is not allowed. Students have access to the wireless network at school so tethering is not necessary or allowed. Will students still need their books? Students will still need the books as described on the Aitken College Booklist although electronic textbooks are becoming more available. All faculties have made every effort this year to source books and resources which are iPad friendly for 2014.
27
Will students stop writing by hand? No, best practise use of mobile devices involves them being combined with other traditional learning activities including handwriting, speaking and listening activities. Students may wish to purchase a stylus to work with their iPad to allow them to make notes by hand using a variety of apps e.g. Penultimate. Will the device add extra weight to students’ bags? The device weighs approximately 601 grams and will add minimal weight to student bags. It might even lighten their bags as more textbooks and resources become available. Can students jailbreak their iPad? No, this will be regarded as a serious breach of the Acceptable Use Policy and will jeopardise their involvement in the iPad Program. Will students be able to use their iPad during recess and lunch times? Students will be able to use the iPad for explicit schoolwork but NOT games. What happens if a student has an iPad already? Students may elect to use their own iPad however it must comply with these minimum standards. These are 32GB Wifi, at least iPad 2. iPad 1 is not suitable as it cannot be upgraded to IOS 7 and does not have the camera facility. Will students need an Apple ID? Yes, Students will need their own Apple ID, along with their parents. It is recommended that this ID be linked to a non-‐school e-‐mail account so that any Apps purchased stay with the student into the future and may stay within the family iTunes account. ITunes purchases can be synchronised to more than one device so if there is more than one student at Aitken in the family, any apps need only be purchased once. Will students have access to social media sites from the iPad? Yes, students will be able to access social media from the iPad whenever they are connected to a wireless network. However, whilst at the College students must abide by the Acceptable Use Policy. Will the battery last all day at school? If the battery life of the iPad is correctly managed, the battery will last all day at school. The battery should last at least 10 hours between charges depending on how it is used. iPads should be charged at home and brought into school charged and ready for work.
Are we allowed to put music / games / social networking apps on our iPad? Yes, but you need to have enough space for educational content Can we download games to play at home that are not for school? Yes the iPad is your property, but you need to have enough space for educational content. Please make sure they are age appropriate and you do not spend too much time on games. Parents should monitor game use and ensure that any games are age appropriate. Who is responsible for updating iPad IOS and apps? Students are responsible for updating their own iPads and ensuring they have the most up to date IOS and apps. Updating of apps and IOS should be undertaken at home.
28
Will the iPad replace our textbooks? Increasingly, yes. All faculties are ensuring that as far as possible that they will be using digital textbooks as publishers make them available. How much would the average textbook app cost? This will depend on the textbook company – more information will be supplied with booklists. Where do I keep it when I am at school? Your iPad will remain with you in all classes. If it is not being used in a lesson or a lunch or recess then your iPad should be secured in your locker. What happens if we bring it to school and it is not charged? You will not be able to use it! What if the memory is full and we don’t have games to delete? You will need to manage the content of your iPad using your Elocker and iTunes. At times it may be necessary to remove apps you are not using. You can delete from your iPad but still keep them within your iTunes purchases and restore them should you wish. Will we have to bring the iPad to school every day? Yes, it is part of your school equipment and needs to be with you in school. It should be charged and ready for use. Will laptops/computers still be used to complete work? Yes, you will also be able to access your documents through your eLocker on your iPad, PC, Mac at home or in school. Will it break if we put it in our bags? Not if you treat it correctly and it is in its cover. It should always be protected from damage and knocks and bangs. It should also be kept well away from any drinks and your lunch box. What happens if we misplace the iPad? Make sure that you have the ‘Find my iPad’ app on your iPad then it can be located. Are the iPads monitored? Can the teachers see what we do even when we are at home? Anything you do on the College network is monitored whether it is on an iPad or PC. Can the iPad be taken away from us? Yes, can be confiscated by teachers if you use it inappropriately. Your parents may also remove your iPad from you if they consider that you are using it inappropriately. Are there any additional costs associated with the iPad? If you wish to purchase additional apps they will be at your cost. In subsequent years, additional apps and ebooks will be on your booklist.

Appendix 1:
Parent Guide—Apple ID for Students This guide provides an overview for parents and guardians on how to manage an Apple ID for Students on iOS devices such as iPad. It also includes important registration information that will allow student access to necessary classroom content. As a parent or guardian, you want the best learning environment for your student. One that makes learning relevant for each student and allows for creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. With an iOS device from Apple, students always have access to the content they need to learn—no matter where they are. This includes their own notes and created materials, textbooks, and courses. Apple ID Your student will have a personal account with Apple, called an Apple ID, that provides easy access to school materials, including documents, textbooks, and courses. With an Apple ID, your student can: • Receive app licenses and redeem codes for education books and textbooks. • Take notes in iBooks and sync those notes between iOS devices, such as a school-owned iPad and a personal iPod touch. • Enroll in iTunes U courses. • Download education content again, if needed for the next school year. • Add personal content to a school-owned iOS device, if permitted by school policies. This Apple ID also gives your students iCloud so they can access content on multiple devices and stay up to date from anywhere. iCloud allows your student to: • Automatically keep school documents up to date between multiple iOS devices. • Keep personal content such as contacts, calendars, documents, and photos up to date between multiple devices. • Back up an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch automatically when connected to Wi-Fi and a power source. • Use Find My iPhone to locate a lost or stolen iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
Apple ID for Students Under 13 For students under 13, Apple IDs and iCloud are requested by the school or school district. A temporary ID is created upon receipt of consent by a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians then create a personalized Apple ID on the student’s behalf. Apple IDs for students under 13 have limited targeted advertising, and by default, iCloud email is not activated. Apple IDs for students under 13 include the following features: • Account settings, such as email address and date of birth, cannot be changed. • No credit card is attached to the account at setup. • Targeted advertising will be limited. • Accounts are unable to opt in to receive marketing materials from Apple. • Parents or guardians are notified by email of material changes to the service or issues with the account. Once your student reaches age 13, the Apple ID converts to a full account with all associated rights and privileges. Your student can continue to access any classwork, notes, books, or apps associated with the Apple ID. 1
Privacy Your student’s privacy is important to Apple. Our privacy policy covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store information we may receive from your student. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices. Visit apple.com/privacy to learn more about Apple’s privacy policy. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Apple must obtain verifiable parental consent to our Privacy Policy and Parent Privacy Disclosure and Consent Notice (apple.com/privacy/ parentaldisclosureconsent.pdf ) before an Apple ID can be created for your under-13 student. Your school will contact you directly about the process for providing such consent and creating your student’s Apple ID.
Service and Support Once your student‘s account is set up, you have access to support from Apple. If your student loses access to the account, the password can be reset online via Apple ID Support.
Parental Restrictions Using an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch can provide your student with access to a wealth of information. However, at times you may want to limit access to certain types of content or resources. On iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, you can set restrictions on individual devices, such as preventing in-app purchases and designating allowable content. You can also enable restrictions on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to prevent access to specific features. For example, you can restrict explicit music from displaying on playlists or prevent the installation of certain apps. To set Restrictions: Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions. We strongly encourage you to review the steps below and set restrictions on your student’s device and all other Apple devices your student uses. Remember that Restrictions are specific to the device on which they are set, so you must set Restrictions on each device your student uses.
2
You’ll be asked to set a Restrictions passcode that allows changes to the settings you make. Important: This passcode is different from the passcode for unlocking your student’s iPad. This is a passcode that only you, and not your student, should know. If you forget your Restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPad back to factory settings. See “Updating and restoring iPad software” in the iPad User Guide.
You can set restrictions for the following items: Safari—Disables the Safari app and removes its icon from the Home screen. Safari cannot be used to browse the web. Camera—Disables the Camera app and removes its icon from the Home screen. The device’s camera cannot take pictures. Disabling the camera automatically disables FaceTime and other apps that use the camera, such as Photo Booth. FaceTime—Disables the FaceTime app and removes its icon from the Home screen. FaceTime calls cannot be made or received. iTunes Store—Disables the iTunes Store app and removes its icon from the Home screen. The iTunes Store cannot be browsed and music and other media cannot be purchased. iBookstore—Disables the iBooks app and removes its icon from the Home screen. The iBookstore cannot be browsed and books cannot be purchased. Installing Apps—Disables the App Store and removes its icon from the Home screen. Apps cannot be installed. Deleting Apps—Prevents apps from being deleted. Siri—Disables Siri. Explicit Language—Siri remains enabled but will attempt to replace explicit words with asterisks and beep sounds.
3
Restricting allowed content You can set age-appropriate restrictions, prevent in-app purchases, or require a password for purchases. Ratings—Content that doesn’t meet the rating you select won’t appear on iPad. In-App Purchases—Prevents the purchase of additional content or functionality for apps downloaded from the App Store. Require Passwords—In-App Purchases remains enabled, but an Apple ID must be entered for in-app purchases after the time period you specify.
Privacy Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location Services, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Photos, Bluetooth Sharing, Twitter, and Facebook. Location Services lets location-based apps, such as Reminders, Maps, and Camera, gather and use data that indicates the location of your student’s device. The approximate location of your student’s device is determined using available information from cellular network data (on Wi-Fi + cellular models), local Wi-Fi networks (if Wi-Fi is turned on), and GPS (which may not be available in all areas). The location data collected by Apple is not collected in a form that personally identifies you. When an app is using Location Services, an icon appears in the menu bar. Turn Location Services on or off—You can turn Location Services off for some or all apps and services. If you turn off Location Services, your student will be prompted to turn it on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
•
4
Turn Location Services off for system services—Several system services, such as location-based iAd advertisements, use Location Services. When these services use your student’s location, your student can see the status of the services, turn them on or off, or display an icon in the menu bar. Students under age 13 will not receive location-based iAd advertisements. Turning off access to private information—You can establish privacy settings for Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Photos, Bluetooth Sharing, or Twitter and Facebook accounts (if they exist). For each category of information, you can disable any app’s ability to access it. Review the terms and privacy policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the requested data. You can lock these settings to prevent changes.
Allow changes You can lock current Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings. Once locked, accounts cannot be added, modified, or deleted. iCloud settings also cannot be modified. Not allowing changes will also prevent your student from creating an iCloud email address.
Changes disabled
Account settings locked

Find My Friends—The current Find My Friends settings are locked. This option is available when the Find My Friends app is installed. Volume Limit—The current sound volume limit setting is locked.
Game Center Multiplayer Games—When Multiplayer Games is off, you can’t request a match, send or receive invitations to play games, or add friends in Game Center. Adding Friends—When Adding Friends is off, you can’t make or receive friend requests in Game Center. If Multiplayer Games is turned on, you can continue to play with existing friends.
