Battery saving strategies
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
Adjust brightness: Managing the screen brightness is the best way to extend iPad battery life. By default, your iPad has Auto-Brightness turned On.
Set the Auto-Lock interval so your iPad will turn off more quickly after a period of inactivity.
Fetch new data less frequently: Applications such as Mail can be set to fetch data wirelessly at specific intervals. The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain.
Auto-check fewer email accounts: You can save power by checking fewer email accounts. This can be accomplished by turning off an email account or by deleting it.
![Page 13: Tech Talk – Technology Opportunities in the Classroom and at Home HORIZON ACADEMY – LD SERIES GREG WESELOH AND SARAH MAI](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551a4cc7550346545e8b545a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cleaning your iPad
To clean the screen, you may use…
Any microfiber cloth
Any lens cloth you might use on your glasses
Any soft, lint-free cloth
Cleaning towelettes designed for touch screen technology
Do not use: cloths, towels, paper towels, or any similar items on your iPad. These damage the screen of the iPad.
Do not use any cleaners or other products.

Strategies - Be Intentional!!
![Page 15: Tech Talk – Technology Opportunities in the Classroom and at Home HORIZON ACADEMY – LD SERIES GREG WESELOH AND SARAH MAI](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551a4cc7550346545e8b545a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consider… what is the purpose of the iPad in this moment?
Instruction - used as a way to facilitate instruction in academics, social skills, etc.
Reinforcement – used as a reward to increase positive behaviors. (need to limit the amount of time the iPad is used for this purpose.)
Assistive Technology – used to communicate or as a modification to complete academic or daily life tasks.
Organization – used to offer choices, show a schedule, facilitate use of a calendar.
Independent leisure- independently passing time, student has more choice, may or may not be educational, possibly have freedom to go in and out of apps
Teacher/parent tool – used to create materials for student (photos, videos, etc)
![Page 16: Tech Talk – Technology Opportunities in the Classroom and at Home HORIZON ACADEMY – LD SERIES GREG WESELOH AND SARAH MAI](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551a4cc7550346545e8b545a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Facilitate Active Participation
Choose apps that facilitate active engagement and learning rather than just viewing!!!
Make iPad time a social time (i.e. “Show me what you like to see on Youtube”, “Tell me how this game works… can I play it too?”, “Let’s make a scrapbook page of our family photos”)
Embed the iPad along with another activity (i.e. use instructional cooking video on Youtube to make something together, use visuals to facilitate choices for meals or chores)
Build on knowledge of special interest areas (Google, Youtube, news/info filters like Zite)
Find apps and videos that guide movement and exercise
Get off the iPad and go move then come back and track it in an exercise log app
![Page 17: Tech Talk – Technology Opportunities in the Classroom and at Home HORIZON ACADEMY – LD SERIES GREG WESELOH AND SARAH MAI](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551a4cc7550346545e8b545a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Supervise! Observe! Monitor!
What apps are they choosing?
What are they viewing?
Are they adding and deleting apps?
Changing settings?
Doing a variety of things or getting stuck?
Challenging themselves or going into ‘the zone’?
Being safe with device?
Communicating online appropriately? (email, social media, etc)
![Page 18: Tech Talk – Technology Opportunities in the Classroom and at Home HORIZON ACADEMY – LD SERIES GREG WESELOH AND SARAH MAI](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551a4cc7550346545e8b545a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Establish specific boundaries in your home with the iPad
Be specific on time limits and enforce them
Clearly differentiate learning vs. free choice time
Expect communication responses to family members while on the iPad
Establish routines around cleaning, charging, and storing the iPad
Set boundaries with stimulating screen time right before bedtime
Determine non-iPad times (i.e. dinner time, if guests come over, short commutes, homework time, etc)
Possibly designate spaces in home to use the iPad (where student is visible to adults)

They have an app search tool, app reviews, video tutorials, AAC tutorials, and much, much more.
They specify funding sources and grants for iPads
Their statement on the home page: "We believe that it is more important to focus on the person who will be using the technology, rather than the device itself. We assume that you are here because you want to improve a skill or creatively compensate for a deficit that may be preventing a person with a disability from maximizing their highest potential."
