Quick Tip:
Have difficulty with a student hitting the home button on their iPad to escape the app you want him or her to work in? Use Guided Access. Guided Access limits your device to a single app and lets you control which features are available. This is especially helpful for those students who want to exit an app rather than complete the requested task. Here are the instructions:
How to set up Guided Access:
1. Go to Settings > Accessibility, then turn scroll down to Guided Access. Turn Guided Access on.
2. Tap on Passcode Settings, then tap set Guided Access passcode.
3. Enter a passcode, then re-enter it. Make sure and write down the passcode so you have it to refer to if you or other staff members forget it.
Start a Guided Access session:
1. Open the app that you want the student to use. Triple-click the home button.
2. If you want parts of your screen to stop responding to touch, use one finger to circle those areas. You can move or resize the circle, or tap the X to remove it. If you need training in
these or other higher level function of Guided Access contact AT for training.
3. Tap Guided Access, then tap Start.
To end a Guided Access session:
Triple-click the home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, then tap End.
