Before you begin using iPads with students, take the time to set up expectations. These should not only focus on what do do on the iPad, but also how to use it appropriately. I created an iPad with "apps" on it to highlight the 9 simple expectations we have for the devices. The colors coordinate to what is a "must do" in red, a "should do" in yellow, and "please do" in green.
When I need to get student attention I say "Screens Down". The students then flip over the iPad and turn off the sound and look at me. This is similar to the "1, 2, 3 eyes on me" call and repeat. It ensures that they are not distracted by their screens while I am modeling or giving instructions. It works with kids from 3 to 93. I used Canva and the Noun Project to make these. Please email me if you would like a copy of the template.
