Home button –
brings you
back to the first
screen.
On-Off
button –
turns iPad on
and off.
Click On-Off
button &
Home button
at the same
time to take a
screenshot.
Screenshot =
picture of
what you’re
looking at on
iPad.
This is the
iPad Settings
icon. Go here
to change
settings for
many things,
like:
keyboard,
brightness,
sounds, and
settings for
many apps.
In your
settings is
where you
can connect
to Wi-Fi.
Under
General
settings you
can choose
whether or
not there is a
Passcode
Lock or when
the iPad
Auto-Locks.
Also under
General
settings you
can choose
whether or
not your side
switch locks
the rotation
on your iPad
or mutes
your sound.
The side
switch is on
this side of
your iPad.
Under the
Sounds
settings, you
can turn off
the sound of
keyboard
clicks when
you’re
typing.
Under the
Brightness &
Wallpaper
settings, you
can adjust the
brightness of
your iPad.
Having it less
bright saves
on battery
power.
Also under the
Brightness &
Wallpaper
settings, you
can choose your
Wallpaper
background.
You can choose
from Wallpaper
on the iPad, or
choose
something from
your camera
roll.
There are
other
settings, too.
We will
expect you
will know
how to go
into Settings
to adjust
things if
needed.
We will also
expect you
know how to
download an
app from the
App Store.
You will be
downloading
a lot of apps
during MILI.
To search for
an app in the
App Store,
make sure
you’re on
Featured.
Then use the
search bar at
the top of the
screen.
And after
you do a
search, look
at the top of
the screen at
the type of
app you’re
looking at –
iPad or
iPhone.
iPhone apps
will work on
an iPad, but
iPad apps
will not work
on iPhones.
Another
thing you’re
periodically
want to do in
the App Store
is update
your apps.
Click on
Updates and
then click on
Update All.
When typing
on an iPad,
you can split
your
keyboard.
Place your
thumbs in the
center of the
keyboard and
pull apart.
This allows you
to type with
thumbs, as you
may be used to
on a smartphone.
To put it back
together, put
your thumbs on
the sections and
move them
towards each
other.
If your keyboard
does NOT allow
you to do this, go
to your Settings.
Go to General
Settings, then
click on
Keyboard, and
then turn Split
Keyboard on.
To copy
something on
your iPad, like
text from a
website, hold
your finger on a
word until you
see a circle and
then let go.
The Copy/Define
button will
appear.
Then move the
little blue pins
around the text
you’d like to
copy.
Just put your
finger on a pin
and move your
finger.
Then click on the
Copy button.
To then paste this
somewhere else,
like an email,
hold your finger
on the blank area
until you see a
circle and then let
go.
The menu will
appear. Click on
the Paste button.
To bookmark a
website in Safari,
click on the right-
pointing arrow at
the top of the
browser.
Then select
Bookmark.
To make an icon
on your iPad
home screen that
goes to a certain
website, click on
the right-pointing
arrow at the top
of the browser.
Then select Add
to Home Screen.
If you want a
Bookmark Bar
that has some of
your favorite
bookmarks, this
is under your
Settings.
Go to Settings,
Safari, and turn
on Always Show
Bookmarks Bar.
When you exit an
app, it doesn’t
close it.
To see what apps
are open, double
click the Home
button, or…
Four finger swipe
up.
Closing apps can
help with battery
life.
After the 4 finger
swipe or double
clicking home,
you get the open
app screen.
Simply swipe up
on an open
program to close.
To organize your
apps, you can put
them in folders.
Hold your finger
on an app until it
shakes and you
see the X button.
Do not click the X
unless you wish
to delete the app.
Drag the app on
top of another
app to start a
folder.
You can then
name the folder.
You can have
unlimited apps
per folder.
