Tech Fest including Ipad BASICS

Tech Fest Philosophy

When in doubt…"push a button!"

When you make an error, click "undo"

If you forgot what you just did click "re-do"

When you are lost, click  the "go back" arrow

Old dogs not only CAN learn new tricks…the rewards are worth it and it puts a new wag in their tail!

I wish life was like one big Tech Fest!

Screen shot by pushing these 2 buttons at the same time!   HOME and SLEEP buttons   ( My favorite!)

Find your screen shots and all your photos here.  (The Sunflower.)

Double click on any icon to open the program

Tips to save you time:

Once you open an app or site that you need to work from or refer back to; don't close it, rather open a new tab so you can switch back and forth.

When too many apps or site pages are open, it slows down your IPAD.  Double press the Home button to see what is open. "Swoosh away" to close it.

Tips for immediate help when no-one is within miles to help!

GOOGLE it!
Right Click is your friend

Hover over any image that is on your screen in the upper left and right corners…this is where all the coolest buttons to click hang out! such as ; Settings, manage, HELP, support, how to, shortcuts etc."

Clean-up! "swoosh away" all opened programs.  Save your work to the cloud (or wherever) and please shut down and re-plug your IPAD into the cart.  Nicely done!
