Post-Training Tips
It was great being together with you yesterday. As you can see from the agenda, we didn't get to many of the items I had hoped. Therefore, I will be coming to see each of you this Monday afternoon and/or Wednesday morning. If you need me for something specific before then, please feel free to email me or call me. My number is 801-556-8176. Email me at Sallie.Warnecke@canyonsdistrict.org
See you next week!

"I made a difference to that one..."
You, too, are going to make a huge difference in the lives of your students as you see a whole new transformation of engagement. I am honored and delighted to be facilitating your professional and personal journey and transformation as you transform the lives of your students over the next few months!
Agenda
1. Set up iTunes Account and sync with your laptop
We will be setting up your iTunes account so that you can purchase apps for your iPad from your own funding sources, if desired.
To purchase district apps, you will take your laptop and iPad to Jann's office. She will log into the school's account, and get the app for you.
2. Set up email accounts
We will set up your district email account, along with personal accounts.
3. Navigate through the screens
swipe/tap/click/home button/power on and off/volume
4. Software updates (Very Important!)
In order to back up your iPad, it has been set to back up on "the cloud." However, you will need to run software updates regularly. This is very important so that your iPad operates properly. DON'T IGNORE THESE UPDATES!!!
5. Amazon.com to look for iPad covers and keyboards. Another good resource is Diane Miller. We will discuss more about this.
6. Reflection
What did you find most helpful in today's session?
Homework due at next month's training:
Before next month's training, be prepared to discuss one significant feature that you find while using your iPad with your students and one feature that you find that would be useful for other teachers/colleagues to use. (examples: timers, reminders, email, getting around)
