Essential iPad Skills for Administrators and Teachers

In this chapter, you learn essential skills for using an iPad as an administrator or as a teacher. We’ll start with the basics, since there’s little worse than missing some vital piece of information that people assume is obvious. We’ll cover how to set up an iPad, perform basic power operations, navigate the interface, connect to Wi-Fi networks, and so on. Once you know those moves, we’ll look at how to configure an iPad’s essential settings manually: Notifications, Do Not Disturb, Restrictions, and Accessibility. Toward the end of the chapter, I’ll cover connecting keyboards to the iPad, updating the operating system, installing, removing, and organizing apps, and managing both local storage and iCloud storage.
