To use "Guided Access"
Go to Settings, select General then choose Accessibility then Guided Access.  Turn Guided Access on, set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session.  Choose if you want to allow the device to sleep while in guided access.  Once you have configured guided access, you can start a session by opening the app you want to use, then triple click the home button, choose the settings you want then tap start
Open the app you want to use.  To exit the session triple tap the home button and enter password you configured.

If you like sticky notes, you will love Google Keep.  Keep your to do lists, appointments and reminders synchronized from your computer to your phone.

If you're teaching classes and want to have your students use You Tube videos you should take advantage of a feature called Playlists.  You can preview videos and create a playlist that has several appropriate videos.  You can share your playlists with your students via several methods like, Google Classroom, Google Slides or by embedding in a web page.
