Below are links and tips and tricks for the iPad.

See the app"Top Tips for ipad" for visual representations of what's described below. It's a free app, or there is a more advanced pay version. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/top-tips-for-ipad/id418509522?mt=8

__**Quickly Switching Between Apps**__ Press the "Home" button 2 times quickly. This shows what apps are open. You can quickly switch between apps using this feature.

__**Closing Applications (to save battery life)**__ Press the "Home" button 2 times quickly and then hold your finger on the apps that appear. When they start to jiggle you can close out the ones you aren't currently using by pressing the little red line in the upper left corner. Scroll the bar to the right to access other apps that may be open.

__**Quickly Accessing Screen Lock (or Mute) and ipod**__ Press the "Home" button 2 times quickly. Scroll the app bar to the left and you will access your ipod music player, and there is a button on the far left which allows you to lock the screen so that it will stay permanently in landscape or portrait mode, and won't constantly switch orientation when your ipad turns sideways or is lying flat. If you have configured your 'mute' switch to act as a screen lock under general settings, this button will then be a mute button.

Double tap your finger on the screen, or use two fingers and pull apart to zoom in. Double tap again or use two fingers and draw them together to zoom back out.

__**Editing a Sentence in the Middle**__ Press and hold the screen with your pointer finger. A magnifying glass appears, and you can then drag it to the area you want to correct using backspace.

__**Quick Punctuation - add a period**__ When typing, press the space bar 2 times at the end of a sentence and it adds a period and a space. This works in virtually any word or note-taking app.

__**Caps Lock**__ Double tap the shift arrow icon when typing to turn on caps lock. Press it one more time to turn off caps lock

__**Screen Shot**__ Press the main power button and the home button at the same time, and it will take a picture of whatever is on your screen and put it in your photo library.
