ipad Contracts for Students

The first days you have students on ipads are as crucial as the first days of school.  You need to set your clear expectations for students.  I created the contract below for my students.  Please feel free to take it and alter it to fit your needs

iPad Contract

You have the opportunity to use ipads to help you learn.  Keep in mind,

“With great power, comes great responsibility” –Spiderman.

Please read the expectations below, by signing this document you are agreeing to follow all of these rules.  You will not be assigned an ipad until this sheet is returned to Mrs. DeBuigne.  Failure to follow these rules may result in loss of ipad privileges for the day, week, semester, or even the year.  Using ipads is a privilege, not a right. 

1.      I will only use the ipad to work on assigned class work and I understand it is a valuable tool, not a toy.

2.      I will follow all Chiawana High School policies regarding Internet usage and computer usage as stated in the Student Handbook.
