Assigning Earphones• Write the tablet numbers on the bag that

the earphones come in . • Then apply a strip of tape over the number

to prevent it from wearing off.

Designate Helpers• Assign trusted students to

distribute and collect tablets.

• Tablets only need to be charged at the end of the day.

• That number is used to designate which apps are pushed out to tablets.

• Have one person designated as “App Leader”(This person will email UBI technicians about which apps to push out on which carts.) • Create a cart owner list.

How to Install Apps on Tablets

• After contacting UBI, your apps will appear on your class set of tablets within 24 hours. You will then follow the steps below:

• Systems Manager

• Swipe left to “Backpack”

• Click the app once to begin downloading.

I recommend only downloading 3 apps at a time on 5 tablets at a time. This will speed up the process.Developed by Randy Backman

How to Install Apps on Tablets

• If you click an already installed app you will get the following prompt..

Replace app?• Click cancel.Developed by Randy Backman

WARNING!The charge connectors

are vulnerable. Be careful when

connecting and disconnecting.


Wi-Fi Pointers!• The new Access Points will be

named “Public” just as if you were using the Wi-Fi from the hallway. The difference is that YOUR Wi-Fi in the room will be on a different channel.


Wi-Fi Pointers!• To utilize your room’s Wi-Fi access points, go

to Wi-Fi manager and disconnect your Wi-Fi.

• Then go back into Wi-Fi manager and reconnect. This should connect the tablets to the closest possible connection.
