Use a split keyboard:Sometimes you want to hold your ipad and type...so Apple created the split keyboard. This allows you to hold the ipad on the sides and use your thumbs to type.

Place your thumbs in the center of the keyboard and slide outward to get the split keyboard.

•Tap here to hide the keyboard. •Tap anywhere you can enter text to get it back

•Drag here to move the keyboard up or down if it gets in your way.

Place your thumbs in the center of the keyboard and slide inward to get full keyboard back.


Multitasking gesturesWith Assistive Touch, an overlay menu is displayed

that presents the user with commands that usually

require certain physical actions, such as rotating

the screen or shaking the device. This new feature

allows for the iPad to be more accessible to those

who may not be able to accomplish these tasks.

Using Assistive Touch, users can just tap the

onscreen controls using just one finger. Doing this will tell the operating system to do gestures that would usually require the user to do a more

complex task, like use two or three fingers.

Other available commands include locking the

screen, adjusting the volume, and finger-based

gestures like pinch and swipe.

Users can also create custom gestures, tracing

certain patterns or movements with their fingers on

the screen to accomplish some tasks that may be

difficult. These gestures can then be given a name

and accessed from the Assistive Touch menu.

AssistiveTouchUsing multitasking gestures gives you shortcuts to

help you get around even quicker on your iPad:

Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the

multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home

screen, and swipe left or right to switch between

apps.


Requires Apple TV ($99) to take advantage of AirPlay


Identify Your iPadOne of the first things I did when I got my iPad is created an ownership lock screen. This is an imagethat appears in the lock screen mode.

I used Keynote... You can use whatever program you are comfortable with.

All I did was insert an image and text box into a new slide. In Keynote, you can export out as an image. In PowerPoint, you can do a “Save As Pictures” option.

There are a lot of different ways to do this part:Once I had the image, I just saved it to my Dropbox folder...it was then available to any of my devices where I have Dropbox installed.

Once in Dropbox, I saved it to my photo library. From here I selected the image and chose the option to use as wallpaper. I chose this to be my lock screen. I could have chosen it to be both my lock screen and my home screen, but I like the variety!
