Main Goal: How will the technology help improve student learning? Sub Goals: How to use the iPad, settings on the iPad, apps that help with learning walks, from Basics to Advanced.

To Turn off the iPad....Click and Hold the off button to actually turn off the ipad, not just put in "sleep mode".

To create folders on the iPad: click and hold on icons until apps "wiggle" and you see an "x" on it.....click and drag one app on top of another app...this will create a folder...you can re-name the folder. (you can put up to 20 apps in one folder.

To slide an app from one screen to another screen: click and drag...or use the itunes software on your personal computer.

To Slide apps to Bottom "dock", just click and drag to bottom dock...you can have up to 6 apps on bottom bar of your iPad.

To make the apps stop wiggling, click the home key once.

To upload photos and upload music to iPad, go through iTunes software on your personal computer. In photo library, click on slide show to add music. As you add photos to your iPad, albums can be created. Also, certain apps will create photos that are added to your photo library.

To save a screen shot on the iPad....push the home key and the power button at the same time, this will create a screen shot or picture of your screen, and saves picture to photo library.

Printing off iPad: in Safari--click on button at top of screen, (same button used to add bookmark....looks like an arrow on left of url list) You need to have a printer set up on your iPad (we will discuss this further on Jan. 17)

Google Docs: we use google docs to set up word processing, presendations, spreadsheets, and forms (useful for learning walks). Use the HCPS Google docs to share. Use your personal computer to create forms to use for check lists for learning walks. Email the form URL to your email, then use your iPad to bookmark the form to use while going room from room.

Syncing your iPad to your Personal Compter: YOU WANT TO DO THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS!!!! This is where you plug the iPad into your computer via the special cable.
