Lock an iPad in One App - Share iPad with students more confidently

Sharing your iPad with students can be scary when you have your school email, notes, and other private information you don't want your students to see.

With the most recent update to iOS 6.1, you can now lock your screen in one app. You can even lock part of the screen to keep students from accessing a particular button. Apple is calling this feature Guided Access and is something you can turn on in Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access.
