How To

1. On my tablet to stop apps running in the background and hogging RAM. Hold the square to the right of the home button and swipe the apps to the right.

2. To mirror the screen to a TV. Set up Google Home (Chromecast), then go into SETTINGS then DISPLAY then CAST and connect.

3. If you are after a stylus this discussion on the VLN maybe useful.

3. On my tablet to take a screen grab try pressing and holding down the power and volume at the same time. It takes a bit of practice.

Or try clicking on this shape on the menu bar saves a screen shot as well but it is only on some devices- don't know why!

4. Guided Access on and Android to lock users into a single app.

• Essentially you 'pin' an app so it locks into that one app until you do a combination key press to get out of it.
• To enable the pinning- go into your settings- Security- look for personal. Then screen pinning.
• To get out of it press the little square (overview) and the back button at the same time- not as effective as a pin number on iOS so don't let the kids watch the magic undo keypress.
• I took a screen grab of the menu on my device. This blog post gives more detail.
