Deleting, arranging and organizing apps
Press and hold the app icon until it shakes. Press the x in the top right hand corner of the app and chose delete.
You may want to put your apps together in a folder to make it easier to organize your apps. Please remember you cannot put a folder inside another folder.
To create a folder, you hold the app down until it jiggles. Slide one on top of the other. A folder pops up and Apple generates a folder name. You can keep this name or change it. To change it just tap the x to erase the name and type in what you want. Tap the home button to stop the wiggles.
To remove an app from the folder, tap on the folder, hold the the app down again until it wiggles, and just drag it back to the desktop. If you remove all the apps from the folder, the folder will automatically delete.
If there are certain items you know you will use a lot, you could move them down to your dock. You could move settings down or even folders. We suggest moving your mail icon to the dock as you may be using this a lot.
Printing
Printing
Students can print from their assigned iPad to any AirPrint compatible printer that the iPad can reach on their local network. Which means that if they have a printer on their home network, if it’s not too old it will likely show as an available printer for them on these devices.
Apple maintains a running list of AirPrint compatible printers and they update it monthly. It can be found here if you’re looking to buy a new printer for home use.
