Wired Wednesday: Casper Focus

Posted on October 29, 2014 | Comments Off on Wired Wednesday: Casper Focus

Teachers,

You are invited to attend Wired Wednesday this evening 3:30-4:30 in Colin’s room.

We’ll be exploring classroom management application called Casper Focus. This application enables you to open applications on your student’s iPads (including websites). It also enables you to lock those applications in place so that students aren’t able to move from app to app. This can be done whole class or individually as needed, but only one application/website at a time.

If you plan on attending, please do the following IF possible. If not, no worries, come anyway.

C-F1. Install Casper Focus from Self-Service
2. Bring your iPad.

NOTE: You will only have self-service if you are either new to the building or have had your iPad reset since summer.
