[ Side Switch ]
Use the side switch for : Screen Lock Rotation or Mute Settings General Use side switch to Also Available in Control Center
[ Powering your device]
If you haven’t started, do not switch your power supplies between iDevices. Probably will not damage your devices, but you could limit the battery life over the long term.
[ Powering your device] The iPad battery will last up to 10 hours with moderate usage. Only charge the device when needed. An alert will appear when the iPad is less than 10% charged. Ways to maximize battery:
Lower the brightness Turn off Wi-Fi when there is no connection Turn off Bluetooth Put it into sleep mode when not using it Always make sure your iPad has the latest software. Apple engineers may find new ways to optimize battery performance.
When you need a quick charge: put your phone on airplane mode, it will charge twice as fast.

• You can have up to 6 apps in the Dock that appears at the bottom of every screen.
• Just drag apps down to the
Dock.
Why would you want to have apps in the Dock? What type of apps would work best there for you?
[ The Dock ]
[ Moving Apps ]
Tap and hold on the app until it wiggles. Drag an app to the left or right edge of the screen. Be patient and the app will be on the next screen.
[ Create a folder]
Make the app wiggle. Drag one app onto another. Tap the name of the folder to rename it. Delete a folder. Drag out all the apps – the folder is deleted automatically.
[ Trick 1 ]
Keep one space free in your Dock (have 5 apps there instead of 6). To move an app from one screen to the next, drag the app into your Dock. Then swipe to the page you want the app to appear on. Now drag the app from your Dock into place on that page. Easy!

folder.
2. Move the folder to the Dock.
3. Swipe to the first screen where you want to place an app from the folder.
4. Tap the folder to open; then drag and drop the app.

Tips and Tricks
Settings App
Check the current memory status in the Settings app – General – Usage. At the top of the Usage page you’ll see how much free space is remaining, along with a list of all your apps sorted by size. The MB/GB size next to each app represents the actual application size plus its downloaded content (e.g. charts, movies, music, etc.). The easiest way to free up space is to review this list and see if there are any apps that you don’t use any more.
[ Memory and Space]
You can also go to the Settings app General About to quickly see what you have available.
[ Memory and Space]
[ Spotlight Search ]
Use the Spotlight to find emails, contacts, apps, music and more. Pull down in the center of the screen to access the search bar.
[ Restrict your Spotlight Searches ]

Ways to Read on the iPad
• iBook • eBook • Kindle book • Interactive book • PDF file • Audio book • Textbook
Discuss the differences and possible advantages of each of these.
What’s the Difference?
eBook (read in iBooks app) • Usually only text or a few
pictures • No audio or video usually;
however, new “enhanced editions” add video
• More like “paper books” in use
• In iBooks, can take notes, look up words, bookmark
• Lots of free “classics”
Interactive Book (its own app) • Includes text, audio, video,
and interactive activities • More like a “game” • Best ones are usually not
free
iBooks • Browse, buy, and read books on a
mobile device
• Once you’ve bought a book, it’s displayed on your Bookshelf
• Tapping the Library icon closes the book (keeps your place) and returns the book to the Library shelf
• Tapping List gives you the Table of Contents and your bookmarks

the textbooks to examine.
ePub-Formatted Books
• There are thousands of public domain books in the ePub format on the web. Some of those books are available in the iBookstore for free, but not all.
• Here are a few places to get books: – Google books – Project Gutenberg
• You can find more ePub book sources here.

Download the Kindle App Download the free Kindle app from the App Store.
Download a Free Kindle Book
• Kindle books must be downloaded outside of the app, unlike iBooks. And you must have an Amazon account to download books.
• Go to http://amzn.to/YjUZDg to find the current list of free children’s books. (Amazon changes their prices throughout the day, so free books may become paid again very quickly.)
• Download and try out one book. • Discuss with your group how a Kindle book is
similar or different from an iBook.
One Kindle Advantage You can also wirelessly “send” a Kindle book to multiple iPads as long as they are all named something different and have been registered (see next slide) with the Amazon.com account.
Free Books with the Kindle App
• Register your iPad with the app (must have a free Amazon.com account)
• In Safari, find an Amazon book that you want to download to different devices.
• Click on the book you want. Click “Buy Now with 1-Click” and make sure your iPad “name” is listed below that.
• The next time you open the Kindle app on your iPad, the book will appear.

Teaching and Learning
Teaching and Learning Activity
With a partner go over:
• Teaching and Learning (Slides 183-189)
• Be prepared to share some ways
in which you can use the iPad in your classroom
[ Teaching and Learning Activity – Compare and Contrast ]
• Search in iTunes for apps that tell the story of the three little pigs.
• Have your students use several of these apps and then compare and contrast the stories.
[ Ways to Use the iPad in the Classroom]
Load iPads with eBooks and then select and assign reading groups for certain books. Simply hand the iPad to a group of students and have them read a book together. Select movies to view and again, hand them to groups of students. Then, have them use the iPad to write to a class blog or online course site, responding to discussion prompts. Use the iPad just like any Internet-connected computer, having students use Google Docs (install the Google Mobile apps) for collaborative writing and multimedia creation activities. Have students search for podcasts in iTunes on a topic of study and listen to them on the iPad.
[ Ways to Use the iPad in the Classroom] Subscribe to various periodicals and newspapers on the iPad and include a daily reading and discussion period. Watch any number of quality online shows, searching by the topic of study, bookmarking and maintaining a list and critique of sources. Research the various iPad apps and have students list and critique them, creating an online resource guide for the iPad and school activities using Google Sites. Try out various Twitter apps for the iPad, such as TweetFlow, and set up a class Twitter account to keep track of activities throughout the school year.
• Using the TEKS or a unit of study that you’ve already developed, find resources that could be used on the iPad to differentiate instruction for your students. – Include all types of iPad resources (apps,
music, videos, podcasts, PDF documents, ebooks, websites audio books, maps, primary source documents, etc.).
[ Teaching and Learning Activity ]
• Gather all of the items together into one easy-to-find location on the iPad.
• Think about how to use these for differentiated learning. • How can each child master the TEKS but still
learn in different ways and with culminating different products?
• How can you enhance your role as the facilitator and not “the expert” with these resources?

On Education
Implications
• Learning will center on the individual learner's environment rather than the classroom.
• Learning will involve learners making meaningful connections to resources and other people.
• The ability to instantly publish their observations and reflections as digital media will empower learners to become investigators of their own environments.
Changes that will occur
• The ability to easily capture and record life events will assist learners in recall and collaborative reflection.
• Distributed collaboration and mobile team opportunities will be greatly enhanced.
Changes that will occur
Thinking it through….
1. What are you next steps? 2. What do you hope the
iPad will be able to do for you in your position?
3. How can you leverage the iPad, in the 21st century learning environment?
