Tip of the day - rotation lock

My seniors are preparing presentations, so I have been trying to think about tips that will help them when they hook their iPad up to the projector. When I have been showing things to them I noticed that I am constantly struggling with keeping the iPad level while talking. This trick will help them to focus on what they are saying rather than how they are holding it.

To lock, the rotation, you can access the option through the task bar that opens when you do a four finger swipe up. Once the apps are up, do a one finger swipe to the right. You will see an icon on the left for screen rotation. Tap it to lock or unlock.

My original plan was to show them how to do this through the settings. It was a student in my first period class who showed me this shortcut. I love it when the kids teach me.
