Smoothwall - Top Tips for Getting Started
Top Tips: Getting Started with Smoothwall Browser on iPads
As we transition to the new Smoothwall safeguarding system, we understand that adapting to these changes might take a little time. To make this process smoother and easier for you and your pupils, we've put together some practical tips to help you navigate this transition efficiently:
1. First Time Sign-In: The first login is always a bit longer because each pupil will need to enter their school email address and password to set up their individual profile. We recommend setting aside specific classroom time for this initial sign-in. This dedicated time will ensure pupils have the necessary support and will help prevent disruptions when immediate access is needed for classwork or activities later on.
2. Consistency is Key: To simplify the login process, try to ensure pupils use the same iPad every session. iPads conveniently store the login details of the last three users. By regularly assigning the same device to each pupil, you'll significantly cut down the frequency of login prompts, streamlining classroom activities and saving valuable teaching time.
3. Smoothwall Sync: Once you've signed into the Smoothwall Browser on an iPad and remained logged in for a few minutes, your login details will synchronize through iCloud. This synchronization means that the next time you use any iPad, the device will automatically recognize you. This makes switching between different iPads faster and smoother, reducing login time and making the user experience much more efficient.
We greatly appreciate your patience and cooperation in helping us implement these crucial changes to ensure a safe, secure, and efficient digital environment for everyone in our school community. Thank you for your continued support!
