Here's how it works:
This has been extreeeeemely helpful when letting my toddler play on my iPad and will also be very helpful for my students. My personal iPad is my classroom iPad, so I really don't want my students going into all my things or trying to buy something from my Amazon Wishlist (...or do I?!).
Did you already know about Guided Access or is this new information for you too?

oooo...I didn't know this, thanks Natalie! I have the same issue as I use mine in my classroom like you. Thanks again!! :)
I starting using this last week on our set of 5 and I officially became the meanest student teacher EVER! It was fantastic. :) So many friends would come up to me and say "It won't let me off _____." My response, "I know. Isn't it great!"
So glad you are sharing this awesome tool! :)

Thank you for the tip! How does it work as far as getting out of the app when you do actually want students to go to something else?

I haven't used this feature yet...my kiddos have been pretty good about staying on the app I ask them to go to.

One of the ways I keep up to date on the industries I work in is RSS feeds. I used Google Reader almost religiously until I discovered that some standalone apps did offer more features and a better experience.

GREAT TIP! Thank You!
I also turn off the internet when my students are using the ipad apps. This stops all the annoying pop ups and allows the students to stay focused.
I'm piloting iPads this year and this is such a great tip! Thanks!
How cool! Thanks for the share!
