We are having a huge increase in ipads being forgotten at home or coming to school without a full charge resulting in the ipad dying.
In a 21st century learning environment, we rely heavily on our ipad in the classroom. When your child doesn't have their ipad they risk not being able to participate to their full ability, not turn an assignment in on time, ect.
Please help your child establish a routine where they will not be constantly forgetting to charge or leave their ipad.
Some tips to help:
*Set alarms to help remind them to charge their ipad and get it off the charger to bring to school.
*Place their backpack by an outlet and charge their ipad inside their backpack each night.
*Remind them everyday for 2 weeks to build the habit on their own.
*If none of these are working, then bring the charger to school.
