IPAD Set Up

Gmail Account

• First, you need to set up a free gmail account with your name. If you have an existing one you may use that as long as:– A) It has your correct first and last name in the information– B) it’s not somethin like prinzessgurl25turnup@gmail.com

• Go to gmail.com and create your account• There is a very easy to use free gmail app available• Make sure to record your username and login for this account

somewhere so that you can use it all year

Notability

• If you haven’t already, purchase the Notability app for $1.99.– I apologize if this doesn’t allow you to make your next car payment

• Go through the set up making sure that you put your correct name and your gmail account as your contact email

• Take a few minutes and learn how to use the app– Practice writing, erasing, adding text, etc.

Using Notability

• Keep all your packets organized by unit. This will make things easier for you when you turn stuff in and when you study for tests/exams

Using Notability

• You are now going to make a sample packet

• Go to my website and find the calendar tab and click on it

• Find today’s date and click on the option that says “Grade Sheet”

• You should see an option that says “Associated Form”

Using Notability

• Open the word document and this screen should appear

•

Using Notability

• To do this, click on the edit button in the top left corner and erase the current file name.

Using Notability

on the calendar tab again.

• Once you have written down text, it will automatically save it if you exit out. You can always go back and change it.

add document to existing note• There is one thing you need to add once you start filling out

activity 1.2

Using Notability• Activity 1.2 is a set of math

problems. Many of your chemistry units will be heavily math based and you will need to show your work.

• To add a page where you can show your work, click on the icon in the top right corner that looks like 3 pieces of paper. This image should appear

• After completing activity 1.2, add activity 1.3 to your Test Packet and complete.

• Stop after you finish 1.3

Using Notability• Once you finish all 3

assignments, you are ready to email it to me. With your test packet open, click on the destination icon shown to the right

• Choose the email option • NOTE: before finalizing your

packet, check over all work and DELETE ANY UNUSED PAGES. Do not email a 10 page packet with 20 blank pages.

Using Notability• Click where it says email notes and

this screen should appear• You should send emails to me at:

esteinert@hoover.k12.al.us

• Once you type it in once and send it should save as an option the next time.

• IMPORTANT: the subject line needs to always start with your period exactly like you see to the right. Either 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th

• Also include which packet you are emailing in the subject line

• Send the email once you are finished

Keeping your work

• Once I receive your email, it will be sent to your class folder. I will open your test packet in my notability app, check and grade it, and send it back to you. Today I will just check and make sure that I received your test packet.

• It is important to keep these emails and keep your packets for studying and ultimately for semester exams. These will be your study packets.

• It might be a good idea to print your finalized packets to have a hard copy to study with if you choose to.
