Pages, Numbers and Keynote - Did you know...

Did you know you can access these Apple tools at home WITHOUT an iPad?!?!

This post will show you how it works on the iPad at school and how to continue that work at home.

Note: This is subject to change as things are updated on the iPads.

iPad - At School

Your first step is logging into iCloud. If you do not log into iCloud this will not work.

Click on the Settings app.

Click Sign In in the upper left.

Add your district email.

Click Continue.

Enter your school google account password.

It will take a few seconds to log in.

Sync your data.

Once you see your name you are fully logged into iCloud.

Open the file you are working on. 

For this example, I am working with a Numbers document.

I added some insightful information. 

The device will save it.

If this is a shared iPad (middle/high), then you need to make sure to sign out of iCloud before you leave class.

To log out, click settings.

Once you click on your name, upper left, you will see the red Sign Out at the bottom.

Click to sign out.

Whatever Device - At Home

Start by going to icloud.com

Then type in your full school email.

Click Continue.

This screen might throw you a bit, but you are in the right place.

Enter your school email password.

You will be presented with this screen.

Click on the app you were working on in class.

For this example, I will click on Numbers.

Find the file, click on it to launch it.

As you can see, what was on my iPad is now fully accessible on my browser at home. 

Here is proof it works both ways. I added some text on my laptop and it showed up almost in real-time on my iPad.
