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. 🙂

* Currently, I only have 6 iPads in my room, so that’s all I’m offering as a freebie! Just click the button above to download them for free!
Classroom iPad Storage Recap
With just a few simple numbers and folders, you can transform your classroom iPad management from chaotic to calm! Trust me, your future self (and your students!) will thank you for setting up this easy organization system. 🎯📱

I didn't know you had an app! That is awesome girl! I don't have a set of iPads but I love this idea. Hopefully one day I will and I can use your cute photos.

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 FroggiesÂ
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 🙂
Turns out I have 5 iPads that I can use this for! Thanks so much, Molly 🙂
