Your iPad is in “Recovery Mode” when the screen looks like this:
Things NOT to do:
Do NOT attach it to iTunes
Do NOT try to restore it from a backup
Do NOT try to fix this yourself!
The instructions you’ll see on the web about getting your iPad out of this predicament are all helping people with their OWN iPads, not with iPads that are school owned.
Here’s what you SHOULD do:
Bring it by the Tech Cave [Upstairs Sheridan for high School, Library for the Middle School]
Middle School – you can also leave it with Mrs. Jones in the office. She’ll let the Tech Team know about it.
Put a post-it note on it with your name, and homeroom on it.
Google Docs continues to improve practically every month as new features arise. A good way of keeping up with the additions is to monitor the Google Docs Blog, which the team behind Docs writes.
Less distracting –> Edit Fullscreen [View menu–> Fullscreen. Hit the ESC key to exit.]
Hack the Header styles to quickly add formatting: To create a new header style, simply format your text how you’d like and highlight it. Then go to the Title menu, click one of the right facing arrows next to a header, and select Update ‘heading X’ to match with X being the header number.
Let Docs create the Table of contents – only works if you’ve used the header levels in the Title menu. Insert menu –> Table of Contents
Use Conditional Formatting to change the color of a spreadsheet cell based on the contents. For example, you can have the cell color automatically change to red if the test score is less than a 75. To do this, hover over the column header and click the arrow icon that appears to bring up a menu. Then click the Conditional formatting… option towards the bottom.
Extrapolate sets of related terms. You’ll just have to read the original for this – but it IS pretty cool – useful is another question altogether, though!
