CONNECTIVITY


At School:

  • iPads and laptops connect to the School's network. Cell phones do not. 
  • The school network allows monitoring of websites visited by students and has security systems such as:
    • Filtering of inappropriate content for minors.
    • Blocking of social networks.
    • YouTube blocking from G1 to G7.


At Home:

  • The home network, unless it has been configured as such, does not have security systems or filtering of inappropriate content for minors.
  • Students generally have unrestricted access to all types of content: social networks, YouTube and adult content, among others.


At School and at Home - 

Cellular Network Risks:

  • Students may connect their iPad or laptop to a "hotspot" or cellular data network.
  • Cellular data networks do not have security or inappropriate content filtering systems.
 


MANAGEMENT

A managed iPad is a device to which a school configuration profile has been installed with the purpose of ensuring that students have access to all the educational applications they will require during their pedagogical process.
 
The administration profile of an iPad:
  • Does not allow the student to enter an Apple ID.
  • It does not allow the student to install applications from the App Store.
  • Does not allow the student to remove already installed apps.
  • Allows remote installation of apps by the administrator.
  • Allows the administrator to configure access to the school's Wi-Fi network.
  • Allows the administrator to retrieve a forgotten access code (up to 3 times).
  • Does not limit connection to other Wi-Fi networks, so the student can connect to any wireless network.
  • Does not limit access to inappropriate content, inside or outside the school.
  • Does not limit the usage time of the iPad or the apps.
  • Should not be removed from the iPad's settings (if so, the student will be reported).
  • Should not be modified or logged out of the Manager app (if so, the student will be reported).

When entering the Manager application, it should open correctly and display a series of app icons. If instead it requires a login code, you should report the situation to the IT Department.
