iPad for Primary Students

The iPad is a great tool for all students, but sometimes some actions can be difficult for our younger students. We have put together some guidelines on how students can use some of the built in features of the device to help students be successful.

① Using the Control Center

Control Center will allow students to do a couple of tasks a bit easier. The cases the iPad has on it makes it somewhat difficult to adjust the volume of the iPad. Just swipe down from the top right to the center of the screen to access these controls.

  • Adjust Your Volume

  • Adjust Your Brightness

② Assistive Touch

Assistive Touch is a great way to do some every day tasks. This video will show you how to set it up for success. With it, you can:

  • Turn on Accessibility Features

  • Restart Your iPad

  • Turn on Live Captions

  • Take a Screen Shot

  • Turn Off Screen

③ Accessibility Features

What makes the iPad so great is the ability to personalize it and make it work for you! Accessibility gives you the ability to do that!

  • Turning on Speech Selection

  • Turning on Speech to Text

  • Adjusting Text Size

  • Light Mode vs. Dark Mode
