Next, drag the blue ‘lollipops’ to include all the text you want to highlight

Click ‘Make Highlight’

You can change the color of the highlighter or add notes by clicking once on an existing highlight

This is what it looks like when you add a note…

… and here are a few different color-coded highlighter options. You can add your own colors in the Settings area of the Bookshelf app

You can see all your highlights and notes by clicking ‘Highlights’ at the bottom of the screen

There are a few different gestures you can do to get more out of your iPad:

Make the search bar appear by swiping downward from the middle of the home screen

Clicking the Home button doesn’t automatically close an app – it just puts the app in the background. To save battery life, you should occasionally close all your apps. Double click the Home button to get this screen

Now push the app window with one finger toward the top of the screen until it disappears. Repeat til all the apps are closed!

There are TONS of things you can do with your iPad! For a few more ideas on ways to get started and apps to use for class, check out these resources:
