I will start this off by saying that this is not the most interesting video. 22 minute long tips and tricks videos get to be too long for me, personally.
However, at 18:15, I learned a trick that I did not know. If you are taking a picture of something (be that a whiteboard that you will soon have to erase or a picture of a student's artwork), you don't have to necessarily push the circular button, but push the volume down button.
One thing that he says at about 20:00 is that you can't undock keyboard and then move it up or down, however, if you put your finger on the keyboard down thing (The button that you held down to undock the keyboard) where the 5 "groves" are and move it up or down, the keyboard does move up or down.
At 21:00, he talks about shortcuts for typing. I think that is a really good thing if you know your unique writing quirks. For example, if you always end an e-mail the same way "Thanks..." or "Thank you...", you could just put a quick shortcut like "Th..." or "TU..."
Another tip that was not in this video was the fact that if you use all five fingers, put them on the screen and bring them together, it brings you to the home screen.
One that he alluded to that I use all the time is using the four fingers to slide between apps. He only shows that if you use four fingers and move them up on the iPad, the list of open apps will appear, but if you use the four fingers and swipe left to right, you can switch easily between two apps. This is especially helpful if you are writing in Google Drive and need to quickly find out if the word you want to use is a word or not.
