Hi, guys. I work at a school where we use iPads for music education. We’ve got a bit of an issue though. Some kids delete other people’s music projects, and that obviously sucks.
Is there a way to lock certain files so the kids can give their own files their own password protection or something so nobody gets their stuff sabotaged?
Other creative solutions are appreciated as well!
Thanks guys!
Edit: The music room has a Mac, so thanks to your helpful suggestions, we’re gonna try with the AirDrop method where they drop to the host machine that the teacher has access to.
Just spitballing an idea. Along the lines of airdrop, does the instructor have a machine that the kids can send their music to when they’re done? This would create a backup, which the instructor could then organize and upload to a server (google drive?) that can be shared with the iPads as read only, so the kids could redownload the file again if need be.
Oooh, excellent idea. I’ll look into viability of airdropping. Most of our current machines at work are windows machines, so… while it probably could work, ease of use is also an important aspect when so many of the teachers are a step below tech savvy.
Not to mention ease of use for the pupils who are often even more tech illiterate.
I’ll look into it. Thank you!
Or even if there is an email account set up on the iPad, the students could email the file to their own email.
