The BIG three.

By Colin Davitt

 I think there are a billion things the iPad can do, here are three big ideas to jump start everything.

Safari

Reader
Open a page you want to read in Safari.
Notice all the stuff on the sides of the page, kinda annoying.
Click the aA button in the upper left.

Click Show Reader on the dropdown menu.

Check out Reader! The sides of the page are super clean, all you see is the article.
To turn off Reader mode, click the aA and choose Hide Reader.

Reader Pro Tip

Check out the colors and fonts.

Split Screen

One screen is OK, two is much better.

1. Tap the three dots at the top of the screen.
2. Choose Split View.

You should see this alert at the top of your screen.

1. The thing I was reading.
2. A Google Doc I can take notes on.


Reminders

One of the best ways for kids to take charge of their time and schedule.

Click to open.

Click New Reminder at the bottom.

Name it, then click the i icon on the far right.

Choose date, time and frequency.

When the reminder time/date hits, there is a pop up and a little chime sound.

You can change the notification sound in the settings.

Click Change . Find an image you like. Your amazing new image will appear. From now on everyone can put a name to a face!

Setting Your Gmail Away Message

By
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.
