Students
Your iPad has a protective carrying case to use while transporting it from classroom to classroom, to your locker during lunch, or home at the end of the school day (this should be used each time you move the device). We also ask that you fully charge your iPad at night so you are prepared to use it in class the next day (bring your cord every day, as you may need to recharge it during the day). See the "WSD Technology Honor Code" and "Technology Handbook" for more information (links at the bottom of the page).
The new technology we are rolling out includes some great applications. iLife 11® suite of multi media tools including iPhoto® (photo organizing/editing), iTunes® (music/audio management), iMovie® (video editing), and Garageband® (original music creation). Then you can pull it all together into a podcast. You'll be sharing files with your classmates over AirDrop™ and submitting work electronically to your teachers through Google Drive™. You'll also have iWork® suite of applications including Pages® (desktop publishing), and Keynote® (presentations).
There are many other applications and web-based services you will learn to use as part of this process. We are excited to see how you will creatively use this new technology to enhance your learning. We are moving outside the box of the classroom walls to the virtual world of information and can't wait to see what you can do!
