明尼通卡小学的学生无需使用个人 Apple ID 登录学校的 iPad。从六年级开始，学校将为学生提供一个学校 Apple ID，学生可在媒体专员的协助下使用该账号登录自己的 iPad。学生不应使用个人 Apple ID 登录学校的 iPad。

All students in Kindergarten through 12th grade are issued an iPad for educational use as part of our 1:1 iPad program. Students need to use the iPad provided by the District due to app licensing, instructional materials access, and management by our school's network and filters. Every classroom activity that requires technology may be completed on the school-issued device.

At Minnetonka High School, students may use a personal laptop or other personal electronic device before school, after school, at lunch time, during passing time, during open hours, and as a part of senior priviledges. 

Use of personal devices at school must:

• 遵守学区的技术政策
• 仅限用于教育目的
• 不要对学习环境造成干扰或影响

我们建议暂时不要购买外接键盘。根据我们的经验，学生使用 iPad 几天后，通常就能适应屏幕键盘。不过，每个人的情况不同，有些学生使用外接键盘可能会更顺手。等学生对在 iPad 上打字的舒适度有了切身体会后，您就能更好地判断哪种方式最适合他们的需求。

Using a stylus is a personal preference. Many students have discovered that a finger can be just as precise. Therefore we do not suggest purchasing a stylus until students get a feel for how comfortable they are writing on the iPad so they can decide what works best for their needs. If a stylus is preferred, there are many off brand stylus' that can be purchased for less than $10 that work just as well as a brand name stylus. 

Students use thier Minnetonka Google Apps school account and use Google Drive (educational version) for cloud storage with their iPad.

Yes. The school wireless networks have grown with the program to meet speed and capacity needs. All students may access the wireless network. The wireless network has the same filters the student computer network has and all District Acceptable Use policies apply to use of the wireless network.

Minnetonka teachers have the discretion of allowing or not allowing the use of the district iPad during instructional time based on the purpose with a clear instructional reason. The versatility of the iPad's touch screen and built in keyboard make it an ideal tool for all subjects, from art to Chinese to music to history.

When teachers permit the use of electronic devices, students must adhere to District Technology Policies, use the devices for educational purposes only, and must not cause a distraction or disruption to the learning environment.

Just as there is no cost to students for textbooks unless lost or damaged, there is no cost to students for the iPad unless lost or damaged. An optional insurance program is available.

明尼通卡学区的所有iPad均内置过滤软件，无论设备是在校内还是校外，都能阻止访问不适当的网站。该内置过滤功能将覆盖您家中可能设置的任何过滤措施。许多家用路由器确实支持对网络流量设置时间限制，因此家长可以选择启用此功能。

苹果的“屏幕使用时间”工具让您更轻松地了解自己的科技产品使用情况。该功能允许用户（或家长）设置使用时限和屏蔽应用，为作业、睡眠、晚餐等场景设置休息时段，必要时设置密码保护等。它还会统计应用使用总时长、设备开启次数以及接收的通知数量。 （请注意，虽然 Apple 屏幕使用时间可在学校 iPad 上使用，但无法像家长通过“家庭共享”从自己的 iPhone 监控孩子 iPhone 那样，通过个人 iPhone 远程监控学校 iPad。）

Parents can setup additional site blocking, such as blocking YouTube if desired, through the iPad's Guided Access and Restrictions or though use of Lightspeed's Parent Portal. 

孩子们通常可以毫无限制地访问家庭电脑和个人手机等其他设备上的不适当网站。专家强烈建议在家庭无线网络上安装软件，以过滤和屏蔽不适当的内容。您可以在我们的“数字健康与福祉”页面上了解更多关于过滤器的信息。

When technical issues arise, teachers understand and students are not penalized. Media Center staff and classroom teachers are happy to meet individually with students to help troubleshoot technical issues. Occasionally, a student may need to drop off the iPad during the day, but since all work is saved to the cloud, there should be no disruption to accessing work.

An important life skill for students is to learn to save and back-up work (on a desktop or other device). Using cloud storage, students specifically back up their work on the iPad into Google Drive. Students have received instruction on this process and teachers remind students the importance of doing so frequently.
