Using AirDrop to share photos between iPads

I sent this info out as an email a while ago, but thought it would be useful to put here too.
The quickest and easiest way to share photos or video between iPads is to use the AirDrop function:

1. Make sure both iPads are connected to wifi.
(If they don't connect automatically, remember to go to tap on Settings, then wifi, and choose LT-OPEN. Then open Safari and put your username and password to get online).

1. On both iPads, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see the Control Centre:


2. Tap on the AirDrop icon, and select Everyone:


3. On the iPad that has the photos you want to share, open your photos, and tap Select in the top right, then tap on all the photos you want to share. A blue tick will appear on each one:


4. Tap the arrow in the top left of the screen and then tap on AirDrop. In a few seconds, this will appear on the iPad you're wanting to share with. Tap accept and that's it!
