Reminders - the best iPad app

Reminders might be one of the best ways to start outsources in the classroom.

To get the most out of the app, make sure you turn on syncing in settings.
Open Settings.
1. Click your name, if you don't see it log into iCloud.
2. Toggle on Reminders.

Open Reminders.
Click the new blue Upgrade button.

Click the big blue button at the bottom.


1. Click New Reminder.
2. Type the name of the reminder.
3. Click the three dots at the end of the reminder to open the settings. Add date, time and how often it repeats. Then click done.

1. If you want to add more, click the name of the reminder.
2. Click the three dots, AKA ice cream cone.

Additional features for individual Reminders.
1. Notes - I recommend filling this in. There are times when I add a reminder but can't recall what it was for a day later.
2. URL - always handy for homework, Canvas, etc
3. Location - pop up when you get home, school, etc
4. Scroll down for more.

Adding an image could be super helpful.
Always click done at the top.

Setting Your Gmail Away Message

You will be away from your classroom for a bit and probably won't be checking email on a regular basis. Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4. Save changes . That is it. Now your inbox will automatically alert people that you are not in your...
