3. Our District’s M86 Internet Filter
L
•
But first, you must go through our district
internet filter (M86).

Go to Safari, and go to cnn.com or some other
non-district website.

You should go to a white screen with a login

If you do not have students in your classroom
at the time that you need to login to the
filter, you can use a student safe login.
• If the iPad is going to be in the hands of a
student at any point during the day, you
should NOT put in your teacher credentials.
• That would be allowing students access to the
internet under a teacher login and you could
be liable.
