Will my child's iPad be secure from inappropriate content?

12/11/2013

0 Comments

 
Heritage Christian Academy takes content very seriously. HCA does protect all connected devices from adult and questionable content while on campus. Parents can also choose to enable the 24/7 filtering where the student iPad will be  filtered no matter the location or internet service used. If you have questions please contact Mr. Brenchley at technology@hcakc.org

Set up off-site filtering on iPad

12/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Off-Site, 24/7 filtering is available and will apply all the filtering rules that students have on campus. To set up the off-site filtering you must specify that you do indeed want the filtering when you register the iPad with Mr. Brenchley. Filtering can be applied later and is reversible if you deem it unnecessary.

Initialize iPad for HCA's network

12/6/2013

Registration will not affect performance at all and is essentially “invisible”. By default all student iPads will be filtered 24/7. This filtering is network independent and is reversible if you deem it unnecessary. You must specify if you do not want this filtering when you register the device by a parental "opt-out" form. 


Below are the steps that you must take to register your students iPad.

1. Connect your IPad to YOUR home personal computer, backup and make sure the iOS is updated


2. Bring your iPad to Mr. Brenchley who will register the iPad (this process should take 10-15 minutes but be prepared to leave it for an hour or two).


3. Take your iPad home and sync your iPad with your home computer, NOTE: Do not restore backup but set up the iPad as a new iPad



4. All your data will be restored and it will be registered with HCA



IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Registering iPads causes data loss as the iPad is wiped. Be sure to backup your iPad if you have any data that cannot be lost. All apps and store purchases are registered with your Apple ID and all your music will be backed up when you sync the iPad. HCAKCTECH.com has a video that walks you through the setup process. 




As always, you can contact Mr. Brenchley at technology@hcakc.org for any questions. Thanks

Will there by digital textbooks?

Digital textbooks are something that HCA allows each family to decide if they will incorporate. We had hoped that more textbooks would be available in Spring 2014 and many are (available textbooks). Students are welcome to use digital media sources in conjunction with, or as a substitute for their hard copy textbook (unless teacher deems otherwise).
