THE MOST IMPORTANT THING….. LISTEN!!!! READ DIRECTIONS!!!! PAY ATTENTION!!! Why do you think these are the most important “rules?”
REMEMBER This is a tool for education, not a toy! Listen to directions! Follow along with us! We are all learning! It’s ok to ask questions. Be flexible! Sometimes we’ll have to change plans or the way we’re doing something if the technology doesn’t seem to be working for us.
Beginning of Class Sit down in your seat Place your iPad on the desk FACE DOWN and HANDS OFF in front of you No ear buds in. Make sure the ENTIRE device sits safely on the table/desk
Basic Care How to: carry the iPad clean the screen

iPads and Reading It is acceptable to use your iPad during Thursday SSR. You must read a novel. The news, websites and/or magazines are not acceptable. You must have your book ready to read. You do not get to spend the time finding a new book to read. When reading, put your iPad flat on your desk and keep your hands off your iPad. We will be talking about iBooks later.
Account Setup and Saving Files When setting up accounts, use your mypanthers username and password ex: 18jrunni, jr082199 When naming files, use this format hour/period, last name, first name Ex: “H5, Cyrus, Miley, Conflict Paragraph”
Emailing Assignments Email all assignments to: jrunni@mypanthers.org Put your first and last name on the document In the subject line write: H# Lastname, Firstname, Assignment Name Example: H5 Squarepants, Spongebob, Landlady Paragraph
Submitting electronic assignments Arial, Times New Roman, Cambria, Calibri are acceptable fonts. NOTHING ELSE!! Your size should be 12 point. Use the color black…not blue, purple, red, etc. No bolding, underlining or italicizing. Double space – you do NOT hit enter twice to double space. Use left justification. (Line up everything to the left margin.) After you finish a sentence and add a period, hit the space bar twice. NEVER submit documents as a PDF.
A word about using your own IDs Last year, students were very upset when the district went through and wiped out their personal IDs. Sure, it might work for a few days, but then students start downloading their own apps and eventually the district catches on and not only are you put on restricted accounts, you may have work that you did for class wiped out as well. It is very important that you understand that you are suppose to use your mypanthers account that you set up yesterday in 6th Period. If you lose work because you completed it under a different personal ID, that will not excuse you from the assignment.
