There are a few different gestures you can do to get more out of your iPad:

Make the search bar appear by swiping downward from the middle of the home screen

Clicking the Home button doesn’t automatically close an app – it just puts the app in the background. To save battery life, you should occasionally close all your apps. Double click the Home button to get this screen

Now push the app window with one finger toward the top of the screen until it disappears. Repeat til all the apps are closed!

There are TONS of things you can do with your iPad! For a few more ideas on ways to get started and apps to use for class, check out these resources:
