3. Using Documents
 Documents is a free word
processing app that can
be used to access or
create a word
document, spreadsheet, dr
awings or photo and save
in a folder.
 Make sure you have an
ITune account to
download.
 From personal
experience, this is the best
free word processor I found
out there.

4. Using Siri
What is Siri?
 Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get
things done just by asking. It allows you to use your voice to
send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and
more. But Siri isn‟t like traditional voice recognition software
that requires you to remember keywords and speak
specific commands. Siri understands your natural speech,
and it asks you questions if it needs more information to
complete a task.
 Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri is so
easy to use and does so much, you‟ll keep finding more
and more ways to use it.

5. Using Siri
 To talk to Siri, hold down
the Home button and
you‟ll hear two quick
beeps and see “What
can I help you with?” on
the screen.
 You can setup Siri to
contact friends via
phone call or email by
telling it what to do.
 Oh, Siri can be setup to
identify who you are
and works with almost
all the in-built IPad apps.
Please, see the next
powerpoint for more on Siri.

6. Taking Screen Shots of your IPad
 You will not
immediately see
your screenshot until
you go through your
„camera‟ icon

7. Taking Screen Shots of your IPad
 In camera mode, you can slide two
fingers on the screen in opposite
directions to zoom in or out for a still
picture.
 You can also slide the button on the
bottom-right to switch between still
pictures and video mode.

8. IPad Keyboard Adjustment
 Tap on any typing space to automatically bring out the keyboard or pads.

9. IPad Keyboard Adjustment
 On that same keyboard adjustment button; look very closely you will find 3 short tiny
line on the right edge, if you are able to touch and hold those lines you can slide the
entire keyboard up and down to get it our of your way.

10.  Most of the times when you x-out of an app, it is not entirely closed. The app is
still virtually opened and runs out your battery power or space. To make sure all
apps you used are completely closed, hold down the „home‟ or main button
until the screen dims and draws up.

11.  You need to close every single one to preserve space or power.
