When we will use this: We will most often do this to leave Zoom running while completing other tasks either on the iPad or on paper. This makes the transitions more independent for kindergarten students and allows them to access their teacher to ask for help.

How to do it: Press the circle home button once to return to the home screen. (To return, see Switch Between Apps or just click the Zoom app again.)

When we will use this: When switching back to an app after going to the home screen or after following a link from a Seesaw activity when ready to return to Seesaw.

How to do it: Begin with your finger touching the iPad on the bezel (not the touch screen part) below the screen. Without picking up your finger, quickly slide your finger up toward the middle of the screen. Without lifting your finger, pause and wait for the app tiles to appear. Then pick up your finger and tap the one you want to switch to. (Note: you can also practice quickly double tapping the circle home button, but this is generally harder for kindergarteners and often accidentally triggers Siri.)

When we will use this: When too many apps are open, the iPads get bogged down. Closing out all apps and trying again is the first line of problem solving defense.

How to do it: After swiping up to see all open apps (see Switch Between Apps), touch an open app and, without lifting your finger, swipe it up and away. Repeat with all open apps.

When we will use this: Clever has a habbit of opening way too many tabs in Safari and having 100 tabs open is another way to bog down the iPads. If things are running slowly, check this. It's not a bad idea to close all tabs at the end of the day or the end of the week.

How to do it: In the Safari app, look in the top right corner for the two overlapping squares. Press and hold until a menu appears. Chose "Close All ## Tabs" to close all the tabs at once.

When we will use this: All the time!

How to do it: There are two ways to change the volume, with the physical buttons and from the control center. To access the control center, swipe down from the upper right corner toward the middle of the screen. Use the volume picture and drag up or down to adjust. You can also use the volume buttons on the edge of the iPad, but this can be hard for kindergarteners especially through a rubber case.

When we will use this: When the ipad is having issues and nothing else helps. It's not a bad idea to restart the iPad each weekend to help avoid problems.

How to do it: Press and hold the power button until the screen darkens and you see the red oval. Swipe to shut down. Once the screen is entirely off, count to 10 slowly. Then press and hold the power button until the apple appears on the screen.
