student+orientation

====Students will certainly claim that they do not need "technology training" in the same way adults might. To a certain extent, this is accurate. Students may be at ease with unpacking, exploring, and extending the use of technological devices. However, what they bring to the table in terms of digital savviness, they may lack when it comes to a deeper educational media sophistication. Turning a device on and off is easy to figure out, but power management and battery life might not be something students think about. From a more instructional standpoint, do students really understand how to efficiently navigate educational websites? Are they able to use the various features of a digital textbook? Do they know how to switch between a video, a map, and a note-taking utility? Teachers can weave these kinds of "how to" tips into daily instruction. The checklist below is a sample to consider.====

iPad Sample:

 * ====Do students understand:====
 * ====quick app switching?====
 * ====using gestures====
 * ====the difference between sleep and full "power down"====
 * ====the process of synching vs. charging====
 * ====how to quit a frozen app====

 * ====how to move apps around, and organize into folders====
 * ====use accessibility features if necessary====
 * ====use keyboard features (edit, move cursor, magnifying glass, copy/paste)====
 * ====connect to Learning Management System (LMS), use Blackboard app, etc.====

Digital Textbook Use:

 * ====Are students able to:====
 * ====log in to digital textbook app====
 * ====submit work====
 * ====switch between textbook and other apps====
 * ====locate tech-support features if necessary====
 * ====access textbook content outside school====
