hey Ranbir's this is the second of three
videos on iPad basics and in this video
we're going to explore basic navigation
with the iPad some software or apps that
will need you to download and then some
settings that you have have to choose in
your Settings app so that you're going
to get the most out of your class time
with your teachers okay Ramblers hope
that you find this helpful and thanks
for watching
let's turn on the iPad so that we can
start talking about basic navigation not
to do that I'm going to use the
sleep/wake button or if you may just
need to touch the home button basic
navigation refers to opening and closing
apps switching between apps and then
using the really helpful feature which
is the split screen so let's get started
by opening the google app to open the
app we simply place our finger on the
icon press it and voila it opens up now
to close it I simply press the home
button when I do that I return to my
home screen but there's something else I
could have done I could have switched to
another open app and the way to switch
is one of two ways you can double click
the home button and all of the open apps
will appear and you can scroll through
them and choose one of them to open
let's say I wanted to switch to
bookshelf I could maybe do some work in
there I could open up my calculus
textbook and then if I wanted to switch
back to Google I could double click
again or I could use four fingers and by
placing four fingers on the iPad and
swiping up I get the same effect as if I
had press the home button twice so let's
go back to Google and then close out of
that why don't you pause the video and
try opening an app and closing in two
ways
once by double clicking and once by
using the four finger swipe upwards to
reveal all the other open apps okay try
that now
okay now let's try another really useful
feature that's available on the newer
iPads called split screen capability so
let me open up Google now imagine that
there's another app that I want to go
into but I want it open on my screen at
the same time by placing a finger on the
right-hand edge of the iPad screen I can
sweep over and it will reveal all the
other open apps I can scroll through
them to choose another app that I want
open at the same time
why don't I choose the bookshelf again
just to show you how this works now
because both of these apps are
compatible with the split screen
I'm able to make the screen as large as
I need if I want more room for the
bookshelf I continue swiping toward the
left if I want them to be about equal I
just move it toward the middle now I
have both apps open and I can do work in
both apps I can scroll on the Left or if
I want to do a search in Google I can
start doing that so that's a really
really useful capability why don't you
pause the video and open up two apps and
try to use the split screen capability
let's go back to the home screen and
choose the Settings icon once I go into
settings I see a whole bunch of choices
over on the left hand column and then
the sub menu that appears because of the
choices that I make from the left-hand
column so the first thing I want to talk
about is the Wi-Fi here I am with my
home Wi-Fi but when you get at school
you're going to want to be on net 30 if
you're not you're gonna need to see the
folks up in the technology department to
help you out with the connection moving
down will be notifications now
notifications can be really distracting
while you're in school so I would really
urge you to go into whatever apps you
have make a choice and do not allow
notifications you'll find that you get
more out of your experience in class if
you don't have something from snapchat
popping up every few minutes I had set
up do not disturb for my school hours
from 7:45 until 3:00 p.m. so that when
I'm teaching with the iPad I don't have
incoming FaceTime calls or things like
that
under general I think it's important to
recognize that this is where Apple can
alert you of any software updates so if
you see a red rectangle under the
software update it means you need to
update your iPad going back to display
and brightness you want to keep your
brightness not too high so that you
don't run your battery down too quickly
and then under privacy if you keep
scrolling over again on the left-hand
column you'll see that I have my
location services on that's really
important for iPad security Find My iPad
is a useful app if you leave your iPad
somewhere in the school and someone
picks it up if you do lose your iPad by
all means check the dean's office but
this is one way they have of locating it
so you can go in app by app and decide
whether or not you want to have that app
using your location be careful if you
choose for the camera if you have your
location services on and you
host that picture that you took with
your iPad someone on the internet and
they may be able to find out where that
picture was taken so if he took it in
your house suddenly they know where you
live so be very careful with location
services but I would have it on for I
just find my iPad app okay Ranbir's
let's take a look at one last set of
topics for this video and that's going
to be apps so let's return to the home
screen and you'll see in the upper
left-hand corner of I have my icon for
the App Store
why don't you open that and when you do
so you'll come to a screen with all the
different featured apps going on right
now I use the search most often in the
upper right hand corner and I'd like you
to download Nearpod so why don't you
type in Nearpod or your pod student and
search for that now when you do that app
will appear and since I already have it
it says that I can just open it but
yours I pad will say get why don't you
get that app and you'll see that it's
free and so there's there's nothing to
for you to charge but let's go through
and get the three apps that I want you
to purchase the first one is Nearpod
second one is I bought iBooks and the
last one is Google Drive so why don't
you pause the video and download your
pie okay let's try going after another
another app and that will be iBooks
iBooks I want the one in the middle and
as you can see again I already own it so
it just says open but why don't you
download iBooks again there should be
nothing that you you pay for here and
lastly let's download Google Drive so
I'm typing in Google Drive under the
search screen and I don't need to wet
display because that's 999 but Google
Drive is free so why don't you download
Google Drive ok-ran boors
we've covered a lot in this in this
session we talked about basic navigation
closing apps opening apps swiping
between apps you may remember that we
did the split-screen we did some work
within the Settings app and then how to
download apps or the software that the
iPad runs on okay Ranbir's thanks for
watching and I hope this helped
