When not being used, iPad should be on the inside corner of the desk or centre of the table. Sharing iPads: • Place the iPad between two people or in the centre of the group when sharing. • Only one student “pilots” at a time or take turns. Two students should not be trying to touch the screen at the same time. • Assign jobs (or ask students to work out jobs) when sharing the iPad. For example, one student might input text and another might take pictures or video. Mute: • Teach students how to mute the iPad unless sound is needed for a lesson. • Keep iPad muted at all times or keep earphones plugged in at all times. Headphones • Obtain headphones for each iPad or ask students to bring their own headphones. • Headphone splitters can also be used for sharing the iPad. • Do not share earbuds due to germs. Volume • Tell students how many sound bars are appropriate for use with headphones and for listening “out loud”.
