19. Your children are given access to a device that has access to the internet. As such you need to make sure your children are educated to be successful online citizens: Your children should not be using iPads in their bedrooms. iPads should be kept at night and charged outside of their room. If children access the internet make sure they realise to stay safe and turn off the iPad and inform you if they see anything inappropriate. I would recommend children ask permission before downloading any apps. Make children understand that you and any teachers are allowed to view all content on the iPad at ANY time.

20. Remember that as a parent you are responsible for your child’s iPad usage at home. Talk with your child and agree rules and consequences for use of the iPad at home – homework in Term 1! Possible things to consider with your child: How much lesuire time can I have on the iPad? What do I do if I want an app? Where can I use the iPad? Where is the iPad stored/charged? Importance of respecting your parents wishes.
