Setting Up Your Centers1. Choose an app that purposely targets a skill for instruction or review.
2.Provide clear instructions for the center. (Demonstrate the app for students. Use Task Cards and/or QR Codes.)
3.Organize the apps that a student will use in a folder at the bottom of the iPad screen as Doc Icons.
4. Use Guided Access for Younger Students.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!If you forget your
Passcode – tragic consequences.
Suggestion – Make a School Passcode so that everyone can remember it. (Like school address – or last 4 digits of telephone.)
