Shortcuts - iPad Edition


We recently published a very popular post about keyboard shortcuts for your laptop. This post continues the idea with creating a shortcut for a webpage on your iPad.

Open Safari on your iPad. (This appears to only work with Safari.)
1. Navigate to the site you need to make a desktop shortcut.
2. Click the little icon in the upper right corner. It sort of looks like a piece of paper with an arrow on it.

Click the Add to Home Screen icon. 


1. Change the title if you need.
2. Click Add.


To visit the Marine Corps Recruit Depot - San Diego all I do is click. 

Easy way to increase traffic to pages you need the students to visit, such as Symbaloo
