Student Resources

All Student apps can be downloaded from SELF SERVICE, our student "app store."

How to Update an App in Self-Service

• Open Self-Service
• Search for the app
• Select Reinstall
• The updated app will now be installed on the iPad.
• If the app has never been installed on the iPad the latest version of app will install when the app is installed.

Apple Screen Time can be turned on a student iPad to receive information on what apps and websites are being accessed and how much time is spent there. How often the iPad is picked up and how much time is spent on the device. To set up Screen Time, go to Settings> Screen Time and follow the prompts. Screen Time can be turned on without setting any limits or restrictions.

With Screen Time set up, the information can be viewed in Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity. Summaries of the current day and past week are available.

More information on Screen Time here.

Restrictions are also available in Screen Time. Parents can set allowances and limits for certain apps and websites. If parents want to place restrictions on the device, it is important to ensure that students can still access the apps and sites they need to do their school work, especially in this time of distance learning. For example, YouTube is essential in most classrooms during this time. Student iPads already include filtering through Securly to block inappropriate content and utilize Safe Search and YouTube Restricted Mode. 

If parents want more information about setting Screen Time restrictions, please see these directions from Apple or this video from ISD 196, or contact BHMS Tech through the TECH HELP FORM

Troubleshooting steps for viewing YouTube videos in Schoology:

1. “This video is restricted. Try signing in with a G Suite account” message 
   • Sign into YouTube when in the Schoology App
     • First time a student accesses a YouTube video linked in the Schoology app on an iPad they will need to sign into YouTube. HERE  is how students can sign into YouTube once they click on a linked YouTube video. After they’ve done this once they will be able to access the embedded and linked videos.
2. If you are unable to view YouTube videos outside of Schoology either in a browser or the YouTube app, there may be a restriction set in Screen Time that blocks certain video links. You can check to see if Screen Time is turned on by going to Settings>Screen Time on your iPad. If a Screen Time passcode has been set, email the TECH HELP FORM and we will help you resolve the situation. 

If you or your parents want more information about setting Screen Time restrictions, please see these directions from Apple or this video from ISD 196, or contact BHMS Tech through the TECH HELP FORM
