  25. Part II: Finding, Loading and Deleting Apps

  26. Finding the Best Apps With about 60, 000 apps available for iPads, finding the best apps for your students is like…

  27. Finding the Best Apps Random searching and downloading in the App Store is generally a bad idea!

  28. Finding the Best Apps Instead try… 1.“Featured Apps”- apps Apple deems of the highest quality and best of their kind • Tap on the App Store icon • Tap on the “featured button onthe bottom left • Tap “education” on top bar

  29. Finding the Best Apps Or… 2. Google “best ipad apps” or “top ipad apps” lists. Example: “best ipad apps fractions” 3. Play it safe – use Apple’s apps iMovie Keynote Garageband Pages

  30. Downloading New Apps • In the App Store, tap the icon of the app you want

  31. Downloading New Apps 2. Tap the small grey button with the price of the app or the word “free.” • It will turn green and say “install.” Tap it again. • The button will then say “installing.” • Enter the username and password for your iTunes account and click “okay.”

  32. Moving Apps • To move an app to a more convenient place on your home screen, tap and hold the app until it wiggles and the black “x” appears. • Without picking up your finger, slide your finger to the place where you want the icon to be. • The icon should follow under your finger. • Press the home button to stop the “wiggling.”

  33. Deleting Apps • To delete an app, tap and hold the app until it wiggles and the black “x” appears. • Tap the icon again. • Tap delete. • Tap the home button to stop the “wiggling.”

  35. Creating Folders for Your Home Screen • Tap and hold one icon and drag it on top of another icon that you want in the same folder. • A text box will appear. • Type in the desired name of the file. • Tap and hold/drag to add any additional apps to the folder.

  36. Part III: Ongoing iPad Maintenance

  37. Software Updates • When you notice a red box with a number in it on the settings icon of your home screen, you are in need of an Apple software update • Your apps will likely not work properly without the update. • This is the singular cause of most of my problems with iPads: not promptly completing software updates! No updates needed Updates needed

  38. Software Updates To complete the software updates: • Tap on the settings icon. • Inside settings, tap on “general.” • Tap on “software update.” • Follow the prompts. *Note: Software updates can take a long time, so its best to do them at the end of the day so the updates can continue as needed through the evening hours. No updates needed Updates needed

  39. App Updates • Like the software updates, when you notice a red box with a number on the App Store icon of your home screen, one or more apps are in need of updates. • Your apps will likely not work properly without the update. • This is the secondary cause of most of my problems with iPads: not promptly completing app updates!

  40. App Updates To complete the app updates: • Tap on the App Store icon. • Tap “updates” on the bottom right of the screen. • Tap “update all.” *Note: App updates can take a long time, so its best to do them at the end of the day so the updates can continue as needed through the evening hours.
