Student Mobile Devices
Logging into Student Mobile Devices
Students will log into their student mobile devices with their district-issued passwords. Students should never share their passwords with others unless requested for by an administratoror a teacher.
Managing Student Work on Devices
Students must save all their work in the district-provided cloud applications OneDrive, OneNote, and My Big Campus, depending on teacher directions. It is the student’s responsibility to save and manage their files. If a device has to be re-imaged or restored due to a malfunction or repair, data stored on the device could be lost. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure work is not lost due to mechanical failure or accidental deletion. Computer malfunctions are not an acceptable excuse for not submitting work.
Sound
Students are expected to use their own headphones. In-class use of headphones or sound is at the discretion of the teacher. Sound must not interfere with instructional activities; therefore, sound must be muted at all times during class unless otherwise directed by the teacher.
Camera
Each mobile device is equipped with a camera,videorecording, and audio recording capabilities. Miami-Dade County Public Schools retains the rights concerning any recording and/or publishing of any student or staff member’s work or image. Students must obtain permission to publish a photograph or video/audio recording of any school related activity. Cameras should be used for educational purposes only, such as recording videos or taking pictures to include in a school project or recording a student performance and playing it back for rehearsal and improvement.
