iPad Training DCSS Policy/Procedures
Who can add/delete apps? The current configuration does not allow students to add and/or
delete apps, but teachers can add apps to any iPad configured as a teacher device. Teachers cannot add/delete apps from student devices.
Will the iPADS camera be activated? At this time only Administrator and Teacher iPads will have the
camera activated.How do we purchase Applications for the iPads?
DeKalb County School System has set up an Apple account for volume purchasing. If a school wants to purchase apps, they must submit request to Instructional Technology.
Will teachers be able to access YouTube on the iPads? The iPads route through the same filter as workstations and
laptops, therefore YouTube is not currently accessible.
