Navigate refers to using Safari and iBooks:

Teachers must first create favorites in their Safari App. Once the favorites are in place, the teacher can navigate an individual or entire class to a website within seconds.
Teachers can also navigate students to a specific iBook, a specific chapter of an iBook or specific page of an iBook.
Both of the navigate options save precious class time.
