EDU221iPadPersonalization

NOTE: These choice and links may not match the current operating system in UMF's iPads...we will update on the fly as necessary

There are a LOT of choices in the Settings of your iPad and each choice has many options. Each one should help you personalize the iPad so that it has a look and feel that makes it your own (even though you only get it for a few days). And there are ways to personalize outside of the options in the Settings. Explore some of these possibilities. If you already own an iPad, find new ways to personalize your iPad that you haven't done before OR send an idea for something you already have done that's not on this list that Dr. Theresa can add to this list and include a link to a helpful website/video.
