World Possible Justice Securebooks are pre-installed with robust content for immediate use by an authorized user account. The video below shares an introduction of the existing content on the laptop as well as more applications available for download through the app center- if securely connected to the internet.

Initial Setup Guides
The Initial Setup of a new device is a very important step that should be finished prior to allowing youth access to the Securebook. World Possible recognizes the desire to deploy these devices out of the box so we have made the Initial Setup process as quick and painless an experience as possible with a program we call Admin Tools which is run from a USB plugged into the Securebook. Below are the guides for Creating the Admin Tools USB and Using the Admin Tools USB, as well as steps to resetting the device should you ever need to do that.
Create Admin Tools USB
The instructions below detail the process of creating the EOS Admin Tools USB.
Requirements:
USB Device
To accomplish this process, please follow these steps:
Plug a USB device into your computer
Clear all content from the device
Right click the device and select the "Format..." option
In the File System section, choose exFat from the drop down list options
Rename the Volume Label to "admin_tools"
Select the Start button
Click "OK" on the prompt that pops up.
Open a Web Browser and download this file: admin_tools.zip
Save the file to the admin_tools USB
Right click the eos-admin-tools-NY.zip file and select "Extract Here"
Once the files have been extracted (you can tell cause there will be a new eos-admin-tools-NY file without the .zip extension) delete the eos-admin-tools-NY.zip file
Eject the admin_tools USB device
Using Admin Tools USB
The instructions below detail the process of using the EOS Admin Tools.
Requirements:
Admin Tools USB Device
Securebook
Black (USB) Docking Station
To accomplish this process, please follow these steps:
Dock the Securebook to the Black (USB) Docking Station
Plug in the admin_tools USB to the Docking Station
Power on the Securebook and log into the Jadmin account
Open the Documents Explorer
Navigate to the admin_tools USB
Click the Desktop and Type "terminal" into the searchbar
Open the Terminal applicaiton and move it to the right side of the screen away from the Document Explorer
Click on the Document Explorer and open the eos-admin-tools-NY folder
Drag and Drop the admin-tools file from the Document Explorer to the Terminal Window
Click on the Terminal Window to make it the main window
Hit the Enter key to run the admin_tools program
From the admin_tools menu, choose the option or options that you need to run
Create Reset USB
Sometimes completely resetting a device is a necessary action (Maybe the youth that was using the Securebook has been released, or maybe you've locked yourself out of the jadmin account by accident), in these situations you will need to use a Reset USB to overwrite the old image with a fresh one. This process completely resets the Securebook so it is also necessary to run the Admin Tools first setup script before allowing youth to access the device. To re-image a Securebook using a Justice Reset USB, follow this tutorial: Create Reset USB

Add Custom Content
A common question we receive is how to add custom content to the Securebooks, in this video I will go over two techniques: one without a RACHEL Device that uses the Black (USB) Docking Station and a USB, and one with a RACHEL Device using a module called TurnItIn! using the Red (WiFi) Docking Station.
Kolibri Guides
An amazing Learning Management System known as Kolibri can also be used to share content with youth through custom courses created by treatment staff or teachers. Below is a guide video for creating a Kolibri channel as well as how to import the published channel to the Securebooks for students to access.
Important Notes
These are some general Tips that we give each facility during trainings:
Always run the Initial Setup Process before allowing youth to access the Securebooks. This process:
Changes the system date/time
Changes the default jadmin password
Locks down the Student Profile
Never give out the jadmin password
Securebooks should be assigned on a 1:1 ratio with students
Securebooks should be powered off when charged
Fully charged Securebooks should not be left on the charger
Youth using a Securebook on a Docking Station (red or black) should be constantly supervised
When the youth assigned to the Securebook leaves, the Securebooks should be reset with a fresh image
