 " Thing Two"
   At the beginning of the school year I had to do a teacher workshop training on general use of their iPad. I was surprised how excited the teachers were to learn tricks they could use and show the children in their classrooms.
  I have found with the iPad iOS 7 is the ability to reply, forward, mark as unread, move to junk, move message or trash an email before even opening it up. Swipe the message before opening it from right to left and the options will appear.
   Instead of typing a period at the end of each sentence  followed by a space, double-tap the space bar, or tap once with two fingers, to get the same result.
   The iPad doesn't have a Tab key, if you tap the space bar with three fingers at the same time you will get three spaces, or four fingers to get four spaces. 
   If you are updating more than one app at a time and find it is taking a large amount of time you can pause them to only update one at a time, tap the app you want paused, tap it again to resume downloading. 
   If you want to take consecutive pictures go into camera mode press and hold the volume up or down button. 
   If you hold your finger on something you have typed a magnifying glass appears you can then move your finger and move the curers to where you want it to be on the screen.

  1. Good to now. I have had my iPAd for about three years and didn't realize you could do this. I don't use it much for writning emails, but maybe I'll set up and try it. Thanks for the hints. Lead on!
