End-of-Year iPad Clean-up

Students and teachers have been working hard utilizing apps and using  photos and videos to document and share learning. The use of iPads has opened up many possibilities for our practice, but it has also created issues of how to organize or preserve work we are proud of. This can lead to “cluttered” files, and large photo/video librairies which make finding work difficult, or take up valuable space. Though it is a busy time of year, as the school  winds down, it is time to start thinking about “cleaning” student iPads.
 
Take some time during the last week of school to address the following with your students:

  • Go through photo library
    • Students should have 20 photos on their iPads. Photos and videos take up space.  If students have favorite photos or videos, they can be saved to Google Drive. The rest can be deleted.


  • Google Docs
    • Students can delete any drafts and save their favorite published pieces in Google Drive.


  • Book Creator
    • Students can save their favorite Book Creator projects to Google Drive.  They should delete projects from the Book Creator App.


  • Notability Files
    • Any favorite projects can be saved to Google Drive.  All folders, subjects, and files should be deleted from the Notability App.

Thanks for taking the time to address these issues!
