• If you do not have students in your classroomat the time that you need to login to the filter, you can use a student safe login.

• If the iPad is going to be in the hands of astudent at any point during the day, you should NOT put in your teacher credentials.

• That would be allowing students access to the internet under a teacher login and you couldbe liable.

LAirPlay & AirServer

• AirPlay is a built in feature on the iPad. It lets you wirelessly stream what is on your iOS device.

• AirServer is a powerful application that enables you to stream or mirror your iPad or iPhone

on your Mac/PC.

• You can walk around the room with no cords attached and interact with students!

• You can swipe left to see even older apps, or swipe right to get a little control panel.

• On the left is the orientation lock/unlock button, and there's also easy access to brightness and iPod controls.

• This will come in handy when using the document camera to display your iPad on you projector. Dim your screen brightness to reduce blur on the document camera.

• Also, you will want to double click on the home button to quit open apps individually to save battery life on iPad.
