Shared iPads

Keywords: iPad, Shared, Setup

Shared iPads allow for multiple students to use the same iPad. It keeps all account sessions, signs-ins, etc separate and isolated. This provides privacy and security.

Signing in:

1. At the sign-in screen, the directions prompt the user to sign in with their apple ID. This will be the students email - student_number@edtools.psd401.net - please disregard the fact that the example shown shows @icloud.com - iCloud email addresses should not be used.

Note: Staff can Sign-into Shared iPads as well, but will need to use @psd401.net.

Note: When a user signs into a Shared iPad for the first time, it will ask for their email and password (PSD Portal password).

After successfully authenticating with those credentials, the user will be prompted to create a passcode requiring:

- 8 characters or more in length, and

- Three out of four of the following: (1) uppercase letter, (1) lowercase letter, (1) number 0-9, (1) special character.

The passcode that was just created is then prompted the next time they login to any iPad setup for shared use.

For example, if they switch to using a different iPad, even if they've never logged into it, once they've entered their email, it will prompt for the same passcode they setup on the first iPad.

Tech can reset passcode upon request. Please submit a ticket with the student number that needs a passcode reset.

2. A pop-up will appear, notifying the user they will be redirected to accounts.google.com, tap 'Continue'

3. The next screen will be the standard ClassLink Portal Login - simply enter portal credentials here - full email is not needed.

4. You may be directed to a screen that says 'Choose an account from edtools.psd401.net - simply tap the account that was entered in the previous step

5. You will then proceed to a screen that says 'Getting Ready...' - simply wait at this screen for approximately one minute or less, and then you will be prompted to select a language and country.

6. Finally, the user will be direct to create an iPad passcode - this can be a modified version of the students ClassLink password. It just needs to be 8 characters, and include at least 1 number + 1 uppercase letter + 1 lowercase letter.

7. At this point the student should be logged into the iPad.

To sign out (Note: it will automatically sign them out after 15 minutes) - simply press the Sleep button (located on the top right of the iPad), put the iPad to sleep, then press the Home button to wake it, and in the bottom right, there will be a 'Sign Out' button:

We can remotely clear out users and sign them out if needed. Please contact x3711 or servicecentral@psd401.net for assistance or questions.
