Incredible option for testing students on iPads or for parents to lock an app on their ipad for a child to use! This option was just added for our Teachers giving exams this week in Datawise.  The teacher can lock down the screen in Guided Access from the testing shortcut (in our case we are using the program Datawise), block out the top tool bar so that is unusable during the test. Students are not able to look up answers on Google or anything else while locked in Guided Access.

This is also an invaluable option for Elementary Teachers and/or Parents who want to lock down the iPad to a single app for children to use.  Super easy to do and takes the mystery out of what or where a child might be in when they are using the iPads.  Watch the Video above for a quick tutorial on how to use Guided Access.
