AirDrop functionality on Apple devices can be very useful, or it can be a disruption if students never receive any training on how to use it properly and to report misuse. Students should note that their device name (which is their actual name) shows up when sharing something through AirDrop, and a simple screen capture will verify if something inappropriate is being shared via AirDrop. This
article highlights some useful ways to use AirDrop, and the tech tools site has a
video explaining the basics of how it works. We also offer an option through Self Service for building administrators to turn off AirDrop on a specific student device if that student cannot demonstrate responsible use of the feature.
