Those Facebook Challenges? Not a good idea.

“Games can often extract sensitive information about a person, such as their first job, their first car, or their mother’s maiden name.

Oversharing on social media threatens your online security, warns Dan Lin.

“We cannot go out and socialize during this pandemic, so people are turning to social media to share what is going on with their lives,” says Lin, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and director of the I-Privacy Laboratory at the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri. “But it can be risky.”

Before a person decides to play along with the latest social media challenge, or post a picture of their family home, Lin says to consider the following three things:”

Before turning in your iPad: A checklist

Things to do before gathering up the parts:

Missing either? DO NOT go out and buy one. We’ll send you a bill, which will be cheaper than you buying it. ESPECIALLY do not go to the convenience store or Ollie’s and pick a cheapie. They pose a serious risk to the iPad due to cheap components that can fry your iPad. Seriously.

Things to bring to your turnin session:

  • Your iPad
  • Cable
  • Charger Block
  • Tape a note to your iPad [SAVE TIME!]
    • Your name
    • Grade just completed
    • MDS number
    • Make a note if the screen is cracked, or if anything is missing

Questions Answered:

What if my cable or charger ore missing?

We’ll send you a bill. See above paragraph.

What if my cable or charger are damaged?

Turn them in. You’ll be in the clear. Send an email to The iPad Guy if you’d like to know the thinking here.

When and where do I turn in my stuff?

Check your email. That schedule has or will be sent out. iPad turnin will happen in the ARC.

What might I be charged for?

Typically we charge for

  • Missing parts [cable, charger block]
  • A case that is damaged beyond reasonable wear and tear. [Yes, we have stories…..]
  • Cracked screen [Note that sometimes we don’t catch the cracked screen until later, as we are organizing the iPads. In that case we will contact you.]
  • An iPad that shows obvious mistreatment [For example, a bent iPad. Yes, it has happened. yes, it was weird.]
