Ipad Tips

1. The "Hidden" Apostrophe

If you're in Notes, Pages, or just writing an email, it's often time consuming (and slightly annoying) to locate the

apostrophe. Usually, you have to tap the {.?123} button to go to the second screen of the keyboard. But did you

know you can just hold the {!} key and a hidden apostrophe option will appear? It's simple to just slide your little

finger across it...and voila!

2. Create Folders

Get organized! You can easily create a folder to help organize your apps. Simply tap and hold on any app until it

does the "jiggle dance." Then drag that app over another app icon that you wish to share a folder and then release.

A folder will be created with those two apps, and you can add additional apps. The folder name will be based on the

category of apps it contains, but you can always change it.

3. Control Notifications

"Would you like to receive push notifications from XYZ game?" If you've ever accidently said "yes" to this question

then you know how annoying notifications can be! Good news is you can control them. Simply go to Settings,

Notifications, and you can set alerts and sounds!

4. Quick Mute

Playing a game as your students walk into the class? Quick! Mute your iPad! I know...this would never

happen...teachers don't play games on their iPads between classes (he he). When iPad first launched there was no

way to quickly mute the device. Now, however, just press and hold the Volume-Down button.

5. Screen Shots

It's easy to take a screen shot of your iPad. Simply press the Home button and then the Sleep/Wake button. You'll

hear the click, your screen will flash, and your new screen shot will be saved in your Photos.

6. Street View in Maps

You may know and love Street View while viewing Google Maps on your computer, but it's not as obvious how to

access this on your iPad. The trick is to drop a red pin first then tap on the icon of the person to enter Street View.

HINT: When you perform a search, a red pin is automatically dropped in that location.

7. Clear Browsing History

On our computers it's easy to located the "clear history" options in our browsers. We're trained to do it from within the

browser itself. On the iPad, however, to clear Safari browser go into Settings then click on Safari. You'll see three

options to clear history, cookies, and cache.
