Students cannot access many websites.
After connecting to a wireless network, simply navigate to any webpage and receive the Content Keeper login screen. Enter student username (without @mccsc.net or @mccsc.edu extension) and student password to authenticate.

How can students close an app that is not working?

What can students do if a particular app won't work?
Apps are managed through the app portal. If a student continues to have problems with a particular app, they may press down on the app until it vibrates and then choose to delete it. Once the app is gone, they may download it again from the iPad's app portal.
