Review device hardware. On the back of the iPad there is the sleep/wake button and on/off button. To turn it to sleep or wake, gently press the button on the back. To turn the iPad off, keep your finger pressed down on the button and on the front of the iPad “slide to power off”. To turn it back on, press down on the button and it will turn on. There is also an ear phone jack, microphone, and silent button in the back. On the student iPads they are programed for silent. There are dongles (VGA connectors) for presentation. With another cable, you can connect it to the ActivBoard with a box in the back directly. If there is not a box in the back, you will need to disconnect the cable with the computer and the ActivBoard.
Discuss the different areas of the Home Screen. The Home screen of the iPad has the Status Bar which shows the time, iPad, and the wireless connectivity. You can swipe through each of the screens. The dots tell you how many screen you have. The Dock bar is at the bottom and it stays on each one of the screens, as that is why is it is “docked”. There can be four to six icons on the dock bar. The ones that are on the student ones are Safari, Mail, Photos, and iPod.

There is no home page. It always shows the last page loaded. Go through the controls at the top. Point out that Flash does not work with Safari as of yet and so some pages won’t load. Safari- Internet When you click on Safari, you may see Airwatch. Just ignore it and type in an address. You can open a new page by clicking on the page symbol at the top. This will also show the number of pages that are open and where you can toggle amongst the pages. There is also a button where you can Bookmark pages and look at History (looks like a book). There is also a button with an arrow where you can Add Bookmark and Add to Home Screen. You can add a website to the Home Screen by resizing the picture by zooming in and out, clicking on Add to Home Screen, and naming the website app. Flash is not enabled so certain websites may not work.

Demonstrate how to manage Apps on Home Screens. Managing Apps- keep your finger on an app until they all jiggle. You will not be able to delete any apps. You can move the apps around the screen when they are jiggling, and you can move the app from screen to screen by putting at the edge of the screen and it will go to that screen. To make it stop jiggling, press the Home button.
Creating folders- drag an app on top of another app, and this will create a folder. A name will automatically come up, but you can rename it. You can continue to drag the apps into the folder. For example, you may want to make a Math app folder. There is an onscreen keyboard. Whenever you want to type, touch the screen where you want to type and the keyboard comes up. To get rid of the keyboard, press the picture of the keyboard in the bottom right-hand corner.
Teachers can add Apps, but can not delete. Students can not add nor delete apps. Discuss Apple IDs.
