Schoolnet and iPad iOS Issue

We just learned from DPI that the current version of Schoolnet is not compatible with iOS 8 or 9. If you have updated your iPads to iOS 8 or 9, students will not be able to use them to complete Schoolnet assessments.

Currently, NC is scheduled to upgrade to Schoolnet version 17 in late November, which is compatible with iOS version 8. It is not compatible with iOS version 9.

A new version of Schoolnet that is compatible with iOS 9 is expected to be released in the beginning of 2016 (no definite date yet).

Bottom Line:

If you want to use iPads for assessments in Schoolnet, do not update the iOS to version 8 or 9. After the update to Schoolnet is released in late November, you can update the iOS to version 8.

We will keep you posted!

MClass Information

There have been some questions regarding ipads, since many teachers will begin assessing during the first week of school.

We have asked for verification from Amplify that it is ok to update, here is their response. Please share with your K-3 teachers.

The iOS versions currently compatible with our mCLASS Apps are iOS 8 and above.
The only reason you should have to delete and reinstall the apps is if you're having an error accessing the app or logging in to the app.
The only thing that would need to be updated on your device would be the iOS if it is below iOS 8.

http://www.amplify.com/assessment/devices lists all the minimum Operating systems and browsers and requirements for each device our app is supported by.

If you need any further assistance or have more questions, please call us at 1-800-823-1969, Option 3.
Or email us at help@amplify.com

Update on iOS 8

iOS 8 Update for mClass

We have asked Amplify for clarification regarding the update for iOS 8 on mClass ipads. Here is what we were told.

The update takes 4 GB of free space to install
If you update you will no longer be able to use the "app" on your devices you will have to go to Safari and type: www.mclasshome/assessments to log in and assess via a browser, each time you are working with your students.
The current version will continue to work with iOS 7.1 via the app
If you do decide to update you will need to sync your mClass data prior to updating.

Therefore, while it is possible to update your device, we still do not recommend updating unless you are using your ipad with another app that requires the update. If you have additional questions about whether or not to update - please email Amy Stanley.
