An Easy Organization & Storage Hack for Your Classroom iPads

When I first got iPads in my classroom, I knew I needed a simple system to keep everything organized and running smoothly. After some trial and error, I discovered this super easy way to manage and store our classroom iPad, and it has been a total game-changer! 🎯

I made numbers for each iPad to set for the home and lock screens, as seen below.

I assigned each student a number so they’d always grab the same iPad, and their username would be saved in each game! To make it easy for the kids to find a game, I organized the apps into folders to correspond with parts of our day {Read to Self, Math Games, Word Work, etc}.

When a student clicks on the folder, games pop up! Even my very own Smart Cookie Math app has a home in the folders. 🙂

  1. I had no idea you made an app, so cool! I will have to see if our school will get it for the school iPads. I will definitely get it for my little man. I did the number thing on my iPads and it works great. Thanks for sharing.ReneeFantastic First Grade Froggies 

  2. I TOTALLY wish I could do this, but my district doesn't let us put anything on the iPads ourselves… BOO! But I guess I can't complain that I have 5 iPads all to myself 🙂
