Time Tools for the iPad

Amanda Hartmann

We are often asked to demonstrate time tools for the iPad. Apps, but also tips and tricks for managing student usage of the iPad.

Someone showed me the “STOP PLAYING” tip on the iPad, so it only seems fair that our team share it with you! This tip means that you can set a time limit on how long the iPad is used for by a student, and at the end of the time, the iPad will turn off/stop/go to sleep. It would then require a passcode to be entered to be turned back on.

For full instructions on how to set a passcode lock and then use “STOP PLAYING” using the iPad clock timer, please watch this quick YouTube video.

You will also see these two time tool APPS demonstrated (although I am sure there are many many others!)

Talk soon,
