Tips to teach an 80yo how to use an iPad?

My grandmother has never owned a computer or cellphone but isolation due to covid has convinced her to get internet! I bought her an iPad for her birthday and will have to teach her not only how to navigate the iPad itself, but also how to use different apps (FaceTime, Facebook, messenger, email, internet, YouTube — and how to get games from App Store). I have accounts for everything made for her already.

I’m going to show her all of this in person but I thought it would be helpful to type up a guide with pics/screenshots to help if she has a question or runs in to problems. She lives a few hours away in a very small community, so this “guide” might save her from having to call someone or wait for someone to visit. She’s very sharp and will catch on quickly no doubt, but obviously this is still a lot of new info to take in!

Any tips or advice on either how to best teach her or what to include in said guide? All suggestions welcome!

Thanks!!
