What is it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Airdrop is a feature built into all Apple iOS devices including iPad, iPhone and Mac. It allows users to send and receive files instantly from one device to another. In a learning environment this forms part of an effective workstream as a variety of materials – instructions, workbooks, scaffolded learning materials, articles, ePubs, PDFs – can be sent quickly and easily (to one or multiple pupils) without the need for a lengthy uploading and downloading process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important that all users approach Airdrop responsibly and safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Airdrop works on proximity, meaning devices have to be within a particular physical range of one another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning Airdrop off and on<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Swipe down from the top right hand corner to open the control centre. Tap on Airdrop and switch to ‘receiving off’, ‘contacts only’ or ‘everyone’ to change your Airdrop settings quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
