Tech Tip: Teacher Ipads




Many teachers have iPads with Apple pencils. Ipads should have come loaded with Notability and Explain Everything. If these Apps are not on your Ipad please let me know. Make sure to state in the work order that Oakwood has already purchased the Apps and they just need to be loaded.




Please make sure to sign in with your Apple ID. Please read THIS note from Shannon regarding Apple ID’s. Everyone will need to sign into their App Store with their Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID and need to create one.




Notability and Explain Everything can be used with your Google Drive. These both can be an asset to your classroom when used with Airserver. (this allows you to project your iPad on the Smartboard)




I am available before school, after school, or during 4th period for anyone that wants to learn more.




Below are a couple of screenshots on Notability to get you started. Below are screenshots on how to open a new note or to import a document from your Google Drive.
