** Setting up credentials for wifi: **
the first person to sign into the iPad is accepting the certificate and therefore the permissions stay set at that person's.

If it is a teacher, it allows students to access staff level. That is why they introduced the service account  "It is now preferable to use Auto for the HTTP Proxy. No need to add a URL here. ( Using Manual for HTTP Proxy will work but you MUST be the only person who uses the device if you put in your Authentication credentials.)

2. You should only use the service account (srvnnnnwifi@detnsw) for school owned devices. Your Principal should be able to tell you the password for this account - no paperwork needed. It is a password assigned to the school.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">If it is a personally owned device then use your username@detnsw instead of srvnnnnwifi@detnsw and followed by your password."

It **keeps your device in a single app and allows you to control** which features are available. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #110000; font-family: Verdana,'Lucida Grande',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Locking a mobile device into a single app has been a request of parents and educators for some time. Using Guided Access to limit an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to one app can be handy when you want a child to remain on task and focused. It is also nice for youngsters who might accidentally click the Home button. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #110000; font-family: Verdana,'Lucida Grande',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">**To start Guided Access:** > via Tony Vincent [|http://learninginhand.com/blog/limit-an-ios-device-to-running-a-single-app.html#]

Posted by: ** [|nmac] ** | February 22, 2014 [|| 1 Comment]  |

This week, while working with Year 1/2, I had literacy rotations set up with two separate iPad stations running. One station had rED Writing and the other had Chicktionary – both very relevant, engaging and entertaining apps for a ten (10) minute rotation period.

While working with my ‘teacher group’ during the first rotation, I noticed some of the kids at the iPad stations – who thought I couldn’t see them -pressing the Home button and trying to get into something else. One of the kids approached me claiming the iPad was broken. At that time, I explained to the class that I had locked it so no one could go off-task. Once those few individuals knew they couldn’t get into any other apps, they began the prescribed activity. So, here’s how you lock (enable Guided Access) an app on the iPad. **Step 1:** Go to **Settings** and open **Accessibility**.



**Step 2:** Open **Guided Access**.



** Step 3: ** Turn on **Guided Access** and set a **passcode**.



That’s all there is to setting up the locking (Guided Access) function. Now, how to use it… **Step 2:** Triple-click your Home button.
 * Step 1: ** Open up your desired app to the point that it’s on its main menu.



Your app window will shrink a bit and the outside border will fill with a few options. On the top row, you’ll see two options; Cancel and Start. Press Start to lock this app. Now the app is locked. You can’t get out of it by pressing the Home button or even the power button. By default, the volume control is also disabled. The three options on the bottom row do the following, from left-to-right: While on this menu, you can draw circles around areas of the screen you don’t want the kids to interact with. Be it something too easy or advanced, additional menus or those cursed in-app purchase buttons on free apps.
 * Allow the use of the power button and/or volume control.
 * Disable the entire touch screen, so you cannot touch or interact with anything. This is good for movies; and
 * Disable the rotation function.

To unlock (turn off Guided Access) your app, triple-click the Home button again. At this point you’ll be greeted with a passcode screen.



Remember that passcode you set in the Guided Access menu? Input it here.

This is another layer of security so everyone keeps on task even if they catch on to the triple-click function. This is a great function for iPad use in the classroom. When you see your iPad groups’ heads down working, you know they’re on the set task and haven’t wandered off elsewhere. Simple peace of mind.


 * == How to I take a picture of what is on the screen? ==

That's called a "screenshot". If you need to take a screen capture image of what's on your iPod/iPad screen - perhaps you created a picture using a drawing application or there was something on a website you wanted to remember or make a note about, just hold down the power button at the top and the home button on the face of the iPod/iPad. You'll hear a "click" sound. Check the Photo app for the image you just took. ||  ||

SETTING UP SHARED iPADS and iPOD TOUCHES WITH OUTGOING EMAIL - Apple iPads and iPod Touches are being used more and more in shared scenarios in schools with students. It is possible to set up outgoing email to send onboard content from apps via email when using the DEC network infrastructure. For example, photos and images stored in the gallery can be emailed individually to any valid email address using the Send icon ‐ any app that also has email functionality to send files should also work - all without the need to put a specific teacher's or student's email details into the Settings. <span style="background-color: #ebebeb; color: #124896; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">@http://tinyurl.com/ipadmailout <span class="yammer-object yj-hovercard-link" style="background-color: #ebebeb; color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; vertical-align: baseline;">@ [|Stu Hasic] <span style="background-color: #ebebeb; color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">'s instructions for setting up iPads to be able to email out.

This is a video showing how to set up apple tv in the classroom. Especially if you have a VGA only projector and what you need to make it work. It also shows a couple of other methods of displaying an iPad on the IWB that we @Kim Warner have used in the past. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqzde2YcAM4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The great thing about yammer is that if I've missed anything in the video, than the brains trust that is Yammer @Stu Hasic will fill in the gaps. This the link to where to purchase the converter I talk about in the video. The adapter can convert digital HDMI signal intoanalog VGA video and audio signal. With this converter, the DVD player, PS3,XBOX360, and some other video devices which are with HDMI output can connect tolarge HD screens or HD projectors that are with VGA input. The product onlychanges the signal format from digital to analog, but doesn't have impact on thequality of input signal. It supports input and output to the maximum of1920×1080 resolution.

iPad intro to dropbox https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TR-LrBqLp43hx5jvcFMDE__WhokcmzlZyZsVQAf2afk/edit__

__from iPad group workspace __ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> RESOURCES __

From  Greg Sharkey Following a discussion on Maang, I have done a little experimenting. It had been suggested that by setting the school's pac file in the ipad rather than using the manual proxy settings, that the ipad would prompt for authentication each time. My findings are that even if you go into settings and clear all data from safari, I am still not challenged for authentication after the first time. I even shut down the iPad between use and still no password challenge. This means that any internet usage is using the stored user account settings. I was even able to go to the portal and still was not challenged. This is a big concern. If a staff member enters their details first, then all internet usage on these devices is using that staff member's authentication, giving access to sites not available to students, and even more frightening, access to the staff member's portal, including all they have access to there - AMU, SMU, SBSR, EMU, email, pay details, leave history etc. With the number of iPads being used in a shared environment, it is only a matter of time that a serious incident occurs related to ipad usage. ||
