23 Mobile Things - Thing 3

     I downloaded RedLaser.  My favorite thing about this is the scan.  I think I would use this in my job to scan books.  You can scan the barcode and click on reviews.  This would be helpful to see what other people think about books I would consider for the library or storytime.  It will also show you all the different online prices for that book.  All of these things seem like they would be helpful in the library.
     I also downloaded the app Google Search.  This is an easy way to do a search on Google.  I also liked the part Google Books.  It is also easy to see the weather because it pops up for my area when I click on Google.
     I did not research other browsers because I am happy with Safari.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 2

What I learned most was how to use the control center from the bottom of the screen and the calendar from the top of the screen.  I like how easy it is to see your schedule for the day.  I also like the camera and it's different features that you can use by just sliding up and down on the screen.  My favorite thing is the multi-tasking where you can different things open and don't need to close them to work on something else.  I did not know that you could slide anywhere on the screen to unlock it - I thought you always had to slide where it showed it on the screen.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 1

I received a new iPad for Christmas and need to learn how to use it.  I am a librarian at an elementary school that uses iPads so I need to be familiar with it so I can help someone if needed.  I am hoping 23 things will get me closer to my goal of learning how to use my iPad!
