This could have been the most humorous question I received all week. Yes, after all of the information we put out about the iPads some students were still wondering if there was a charge they would need to pay. As of today we have about 200 of the 800 iPads out. The first three distribution nights have been a success as we have been able to be efficient with our time and the students along with their families are so appreciative to receive their device. If you see LeAnne Wagner, Colin Wikan, Jennifer Like, Robert Ogan, Eric McCoy, Christina Linville, Beau Huber, and Jason Verbout please thank them for all of the help and support they are providing.
Students have been told the devices need to be left in their cases. Please do not allow them to remove the device from the case. We are working to develop a solution for locker room storage with a concern about security. We will keep you updated when we have something with more direction. If you are a coach/sponsor please think through how to handle students that bring devices and where they are stored. Please see me with questions.
A good reminder and awareness piece for all staff is that these devices all have camera, video, and audio recording capabilities. We should always hold ourselves to a high standard and be open to anyone seeing what goes on in our building. However, there is a legitimate concern about taking bits and pieces of what we say and editing it. Remember, we will not be disabling any of these as that would work against where we are headed. If you have a concern of this nature I would be happy to meet with you and talk through it.
We are excited to keep moving forward this week with the final freshman distribution nights.
