Fifteen years ago, most home computers weren't even linked to the Internet. Today, our computers are both linked and, in many cases, mobile.

Safari is “default” browser – this cannot be changed (currently...)
Enhance Safari browser use with a few simple steps – Bookmarks toolbar (“Always Display” in Settings)
– Bookmarklets (Instapaper, PDF conversion, etc.)
– “Reader” mode
Alternative browsers are available (with excellent features)

Sharing Made Simple!
We all share!
– Mostly through email and social media...
Flexibility – method, ease, etc.
Share in seconds in whatever manner is most convenient for you (and your recipient)
Sharing across platforms?
– Smartphone? Tablet? Doesn’t matter...start on one, pick up on the other...
Don Tomoff | Alex Tomoff 39
Cover Introduction Consider... Advantages Student Use Wrap Up
What About Security?
Apply common sense – these devices contain your life!
Activate lock screen password (just do it!)
Activate “Find my iPad/iPhone” – remote wipe
Enable app passwords when appropriate – Remote access (LogMeIn, Splashtop, etc.)
Enable in-app passwords when appropriate – e.g., Goodreader folder restrictions
Don Tomoff | Alex Tomoff 40

Backup?
iCloud – Apple’s backup/syncing solution
Sync to computer is another option (iTunes)
Selected apps provide back up to “cloud” – Dropbox, etc. (note-taking apps, etc.)
– These have to be set in app settings
Cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) is not stored locally on device, so “backup” is unnecessary
Don Tomoff | Alex Tomoff 41

Final Tips
Start small
– Pick one area of interest to you and commit!
– Make it an area that you enjoy, or that you will use frequently (e.g., notes, research, web surfing)
Stick with it
– Many apps do have a fair learning curve
– Knowledge does accumulate quickly
Keep learning
– Ask questions (and never stop)!
