SLEEP BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON

There are two main buttons on the iPad; the Sleep Button (top right-hand corner) and the Home Button (on the front) .

What is the difference you ask? 

Press the Sleep Button to put your iPad into 'stand-by' mode. Podcasts and music will continue to play. 

To turn your iPad off completely you need to hold the Sleep button down until a Slide to Power Off slider appears (about 4-5 seconds). Once you drag the button across your machine will completely turn off. 

Turning off your machine is a good idea if you are not going to be using it for a while.

If your iPad is in 'Stand-by' (sleep) mode you can press the Home Button to wake it up. You can also use the Home Button to cycle between the Home Page and the Search screen (Spotlight Search).
