Thing 2...mobile device tips

I viewed the video, and then went off on a search of my own.  I need to know how to do the basics, so I went to our school's technology expert and read through her link to 40+ super secret iPad features and shortcuts by Joel Bankhead. (You can Google this!) in that article are several tips that I wasn't aware of, like:

1. Double clicking home to bring up your recent screens. ( multi-tasking), or using the 4 finger swipe to do the same thing.

2. While in the multitasking bar, you can close them by swiping them upward.

3. Pinch to home

4. Several tips for using maps..and fun,too.

5. Put in a period by double tapping the space bar. 

6. Other punctuation marks you can find without changing pages.

7. Tricks on splitting or undocking the keyboard.

And, the one I like the best is the "find definitions" tip. This gives you easy access to a dictionary while reading those books on the iPad.

There were several others worth looking at. And, at least now I feel a little more confident when using my iPad.

Now, on to Thing 3!

Thing 1--what I hope to learn

I hope to use 23 mobile things to make better use of my iPad. I learned so much from the previous 23 things, so I'm expecting that and more from this one.
