Don't Forget to Sign Out of the School's iPads!

In a perfect world, all the students would have their own personal devices (tablets, laptops, Chromebooks, iPhones) and they would remain logged into their personal Google Drive, Dropbox and Gmail accounts all day long.

But in the real world (specifically, in our school) our students are sharing iPads. Please remind them to sign out of any app that gives access to file (Google Drive, Dropbox) or e-mail. Otherwise, someone could delete needed material or send a malicious e-mail in another student's name.

Below is a tutorial with step-by-step directions to signing out of Google Drive when your class is done.

Please make this an established routine in your classrooms, and don't wait until the bell rings. Set a timer (on the iPad if you wish!) to remind students to wind down before the end of class and sign out.
