iPad Expert or Novice?
We shall soon see. Check off the items you are confident you know how to do.
Teachers will want to print off a hard copy of the iPad Basics: Tips, Tricks, & Things to Remember ½ sheet for students prior to the lesson. Begin by having students self-assess and checking off the items they can perform on the iPad. This document can be found here:
Then, do a Fist to Five rating (0 fingers = I know nothing, 5 fingers = I can do all of these items) and have students scan the room to see where each other are at. This is a good time for you to see who your tech experts vs. novices are in the classroom. You may expect to see the full range; students who are quite proficient already with the technology and others who are seeing these devices for the first time. Consider having experienced users pair up with the less-experienced so they can model & demonstrate navigating through the iPad.

4. Pressing Stuff
The home button is round and located on the face of the device.
The power button is long and thin, and located on the top edge of the device.
The volume up and down buttons are on the right side.
A switch to control either the volume mute OR screen rotation is by the volume.
Consider having students hold up their iPads and point to each of the buttons as you talk through what each does.

5. Switching On/Off To power down:
Hold the power button until the red slider appears, swipe it
The screen will go black
Emphasize that most iPad users do not switch off their iPad regularly. The device is able to go into “sleep” mode and does not require being turned off. Most often, powering off is a way of troubleshooting when the device or apps are not functioning correctly.
Most iPad users don’t switch them off daily. Power down if you won’t be using your device for a while or need to restart to troubleshoot an issue.

6. Touchscreen Gestures One finger: Tap Touch & hold Drag Swipe Flick
Two fingers:
Pinch
Rotate
Instruct students that there are different functions on the touchscreen depending on the numbers of fingers used.

7. Keyboard Functions Numbers & Symbols
Briefly show students how to access numbers and symbols while typing on the keyboard. Consider having an experienced student demonstrate or show this skill to the class.

8. Lock Screen Rotation OR Mute
Control Center
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen
The control center will slide into view and you can access several different options like, Airplay, screen lock/mute, and screen brightness
Lock Screen Rotation OR Mute
Screen
Brightness
Teach students how to access the lock screen rotation, screen brightness, and volume via the control center. If you have Apple TV or Reflection software installed already in your classroom, it would be appropriate to show them how to access the Airplay mode to wirelessly display their student iPad.
Airplay

9. Taking a Screen Shot
Want to take a photo of what’s on your screen?
Press the home and power buttons at the same time and a screenshot will be saved to your Photo Library.
Taking a Screen Capture is a valuable skill to learn. If you or your students want to capture an image that cannot be already saved into the camera roll, simply press the home & power button at the same time; you will see the screen briefly flash. Whatever is displayed on the screen will then be saved into your Photo Library.

10. Saving an Image Want to save a picture from online?
Press and hold on the image
Select Save Image
It will now be saved in your Photos

11. What if my iPad is uncooperative?
If you have trouble with a specific app, manually close it:
Double-tap the Home button to see all of the open apps.
Swipe up on the apps preview to close an app that is not working or close all of the open apps.
Navigate to the app, reopen and see if the issue is solved
This is the first level of troubleshooting. If an app is acting fussy, teach students to close it down via the task try at the bottom of the screen.

12. What if my iPad is still uncooperative?
If you have trouble with multiple apps or the iPad is slow or glitchy, manually restart the iPad.
This is the second level of troubleshooting. If an app continues to be troublesome, or the iPad itself is acting unresponsive, manually restart the iPad. Turning it off, waiting a few moments, and then turning it on again will more times than not solve the issue.
If this does not solve the problem, please have the student consult with the building tech support or ITF support.

13. How do I connect to wifi at home or outside of school?
Follow the steps in the “How to connect to your home wireless internet” guide.
If you still have problems talk to your school SPOC.
You may briefly teach students how to access wireless when outside of the school groups. However, emphasize that students should not expect technology support for connecting to their home or other network. It is the students’ responsibility to problem-solve, remember wireless password, etc.
If a student does not have wireless access at their home, they will not be able to plug in the iPad to a wired connection. Their alternative would be to use the many remaining functions that iPad can do that do not require wireless, or to find a free wireless hotspot in another public place.

14. How do I download school apps?
All school apps can be downloaded from the Self Service Portal(SSP).
Once you open the SSP, use the search bar at the top right to find the needed app.
Students will not have access to the iTunes or Apps store to download their own choice of games, apps, or music. All student iPads will be loaded with a predetermined set of apps.

15. How do I download my own apps, games and music?
Sorry, you can’t!
Students will not have access to the iTunes or Apps store to download their own choice of games, apps, or music. All student iPads will be loaded with a predetermined set of apps.

16. Your turn!

17. Revisit your iPad Tips & Tricks Self-Assessment. Partner up.
Go through the list and see what else you can check-off as knowing how to do.
Goal – complete at least 80% of the skills.
Ipad Basics
Tips, Tricks & Things to Remember

Connect to wifi/check if connected to wifi
Now that a number of the skills on this list have been taught, give students additional time to explore and see what else they can complete on the task list. The goal would be for students to know/learn a minimum of half. Again, this would be a good time to pair up experienced users with inexperienced users. You will find that students are likely eager to show what they know and can easily discover how to perform these skills.
Plan to continue teaching & reinforcing these skills as you introduce new apps and progress with using the iPads throughout daily instruction.
