edTPA Equipment Information |

Besides the core, Apple-installed apps. these iPads Minis come pre-loaded with the Swivl Capture app. You may download other apps, but please note the following:
1. You need your own Apple ID. If you own an iPod, iPhone, or Mac computer, or use iTunes at all, you already have an Apple ID; it's the username and password you use to login to the App Store or iTunes. The Apple ID page will allow you to recover it if you've forgotten it, or to create one.
2. Your purchases (free or paid) through iTunes and the App Store follow your Apple ID. So even if your initial download is to this borrowed iPad mini, you can subsequently download it to another iOS device (iPhone or iPad) you have now or get in the future. And the reverse is true; if you already own an iPhone to which you've downloaded apps, those apps will be available to download to this borrowed iPad.
3. Before returning the iPad to the library, be sure to:
* Library staff don't always have time between checkouts to return the iPads to a “neutral” state. Please take these steps to protect your privacy and accounts.

The Home button has several functions. It wakes the iPad when it is sleeping, exits out of apps, and returns the iPad to the primary "home" screen. Double-click the Home button to select from all currently running apps. Hold the Home button for a second to manage the apps: move them to new locations on the home screen(s), close open apps, delete apps from the device.
A quick press to the On/Off Sleep/Wake button will both wake the iPad and put it to sleep. The iPad uses very little power when it is asleep, so it is not often necessary to turn the iPad entirely off. But when needed, the same button turns the iPad on or off--just hold it down for a few seconds. To power off, you'll have to confirm on screen. While the iPad powers on, the Apple icon will display for a minute; when the home screen displays it is ready to use.
