Ipads for Educators—Increasing Productivity
Growing in popularity every day, the ipad is a must-have tool. It is important to truly understand how
the ipad can increase your effectiveness and enhance your creativity. You will learn to use the ipad to
manage your existing workload, including using the ipad as a replacement for a laptop.
The key to increasing your productivity is to limit the number of places where your information appears
and to organize well. If you create a document on the ipad, you can use google docs to store it. By
having an online project management app, you can create “to do” lists from anywhere.

things you hear, and things you see,
like a digital file cabinet. Your data
is synched wirelessly between the
iPad and any other computers and
devices on which you have Evernote

BlackBerry, Android, Windows
Phone, web, and more)
You can email text, photos, and files
(as attachments) into Evernote, and
email them from Evernote to any
address.

Ipad Tips
1. The "Hidden" Apostrophe
If you're in Notes, Pages, or just writing an email, it's often time consuming (and slightly annoying) to locate the
apostrophe. Usually, you have to tap the {.?123} button to go to the second screen of the keyboard. But did you
know you can just hold the {!} key and a hidden apostrophe option will appear? It's simple to just slide your little
finger across it...and voila!
2. Create Folders
Get organized! You can easily create a folder to help organize your apps. Simply tap and hold on any app until it
does the "jiggle dance." Then drag that app over another app icon that you wish to share a folder and then release.
A folder will be created with those two apps, and you can add additional apps. The folder name will be based on the
category of apps it contains, but you can always change it.
3. Control Notifications
"Would you like to receive push notifications from XYZ game?" If you've ever accidently said "yes" to this question
then you know how annoying notifications can be! Good news is you can control them. Simply go to Settings,
Notifications, and you can set alerts and sounds!
4. Quick Mute
Playing a game as your students walk into the class? Quick! Mute your iPad! I know...this would never
happen...teachers don't play games on their iPads between classes (he he). When iPad first launched there was no
way to quickly mute the device. Now, however, just press and hold the Volume-Down button.
5. Screen Shots
It's easy to take a screen shot of your iPad. Simply press the Home button and then the Sleep/Wake button. You'll
hear the click, your screen will flash, and your new screen shot will be saved in your Photos.
6. Street View in Maps
You may know and love Street View while viewing Google Maps on your computer, but it's not as obvious how to
access this on your iPad. The trick is to drop a red pin first then tap on the icon of the person to enter Street View.
HINT: When you perform a search, a red pin is automatically dropped in that location.
7. Clear Browsing History
On our computers it's easy to located the "clear history" options in our browsers. We're trained to do it from within the
browser itself. On the iPad, however, to clear Safari browser go into Settings then click on Safari. You'll see three
options to clear history, cookies, and cache.
