Got Apps? A MUST READ for Getting Apps on Your iPads

Remember that commercial.....Got Milk? Well, in this post we want to make sure you know how to get apps.

Free Apps

To download free apps, you will want to go to the App Store. Here you can search for apps in the search box or go to the education collection. Tap on the app you wish to "purchase." Then click "Free."

Once the icon turns green, click "INSTALL APP." It will then prompt you to enter your password.

Paid Apps

(To purchase apps for your teacher iPad or to use a gift card, you will need to have your own Apple ID.)
Step 1: Log into your own personal Apple ID. Go to the app store, scroll to the bottom of your "Featured Tab," and click on the Lindbergh ID. Click the "Sign Out" icon and enter your personal credentials.

Step 2: Purchase any apps you desire using the process above. Remember-you are paying for any apps you download to your personal account and will not be reimbursed by the district.

Step 3: Be sure to logout of your own Apple ID. Again, go to the app store, scroll to the bottom of your "Featured Tab," and click on your personal ID. Click the "Sign Out" icon and enter your Lindbergh teacher credentials.

Downloading Already Purchased Apps

Step 1: To download apps for your teacher iPad that you have previously downloaded or purchased with your own Apple ID, you will want to log into the App store with your personal account (see steps above).

Step 2: In the app store, click on the "Purchased" at the bottom of the screen. You can then click on any apps that have a cloud next to them to install the app on your teacher device. It is illegal to install apps onto the student devices that are purchased with your personal ID.

Step 3: Be sure to logout of your own Apple ID. Again, go to the app store, scroll to the bottom of your "Featured Tab," and click on your personal ID. Click the "Sign Out" icon and enter your Lindbergh teacher credentials.
