The Great 2025 iPad Turnin

WHERE

The ARC

WHEN

After your last exam [but you CAN turn it in early, if you would like to beat the crowds]

WHAT

You’ll hand in your iPad, Charger block, AND Cable.

See “Questions answered” section below.

HOW

This is a 5 step process that is MUCH easier to do than to actually write about.

  1. Passcode off [or set to all zeroes], AT LEAST 10% charge on the battery
  2. Fill out the paper form, SIGN IT
  3. Baggie –> write Name, MDS#, grade just completed on it WITH A SHARPIE. THEN stick the block and cable inside the bag.
  4. Sticky note –> Write Name, MDS#, grade just completed. Place it on the iPad.
  5. Turn it into whoever is manning the station. DO NOT JUST LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE.

THINGS TO KNOW

  • You’ll be charged $25 for turning in your iPad after Wednesday May 21 at Noon.
  • –>YOU<– must turn in your own iPad. DO NOT ask anyone else to do it for you. DO NOT agree to turn in anyone else’s iPad “as a favor”.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I’m missing a part [cable or block].

You will be charged for the missing parts.

Something is damaged.

  • Cable – turn in the damaged cable. We treat cables as wear items, so there would be no charge.
  • Charger block – turn in the damaged block. This is also treated as a wear item.
  • Case – if the case shows UNUSUAL wear and tear or damage, you will be charged for a replacement. Standard wear and tear does NOT incur a charge
  • The stand on the case – also treated as a wear item. We do not charge for the stand being broken – but we also do not replace them.
  • iPad screen – if your iPad has a cracked screen or other hardware damage, you will be billed the standard amount for the repair [$200]

I don’t feel like getting my carcass to the ARC during exam week.

You’ll be charged the $25 late fee. If you ask someone else to turn it in, we will not take it.

Loading PDFs from Schoology to Notability

​Anytime one browser has trouble with downloads or just acts flaky when getting a file from Schoology to Notability on your iPad, here are some things to do:

1) Quit out of all your running apps except the one you need. Too many students have 25 or 30 apps running in the background, which can make things difficult.

2) Quit out of ALL running apps and THEN restart the device. [aka the “iPad Reboot Dance”The “iPad Reboot Dance”]

3) Use a different web browser. You have Safari, Chrome, Notability, AND Edge on your iPad.

Quite often one web browser will work where another one has flaked out. If you’d like to know why, bone up on Nuclear Physics, then come ask.

Once downloaded, the file probably can be found in the FILES app – click on the “recents” category and you should see it.

Click-and-hold to see what options you have [including renaming the file].

In Notability, click and hold the +NEW button. You should see an option to import a file from the Files app. Select that option, and you should be presented with a list of files you can import into Notability.
