Apple’s vision for learning
Education is part of Apple’s core values whereby technology enables connected, collaborative and creative learning for all students. Apple has the best platform for educational apps on both Mac and iPad, so learning management systems like Microsoft 365 and Blackboard work seamlessly. And with Apple apps like Schoolwork and Classroom, teachers can personalize learning for every student. Since learning doesn’t stop when students leave the classroom, adopt an all-round approach to education so students can learn wherever they are, using devices that are within their reach.
Connected: Stay connected with the latest WiFi technologies and benefit from fantastic speeds on hotspots with 5G connection. Using a cellular-enabled iPad, students can access online courses using mobile data even when away from WiFi zones. Enjoy impressive all-day battery life even if you forget to carry your charger. And with support for the Smart Keyboard, iPad transforms into a PC that’s more powerful than most PC laptops. Built-in apps like Messages and FaceTime enable easy ways to communicate and collaborate. Create engaging video calls with Centre Stage, which keeps you in the frame as you move around, especially through Group FaceTime. This means you can truly take your class mobile and get more done. You can now invite anyone to a FaceTime call by sharing a link to your conference call so even students with Android and Windows devices can join the conversation.
Collaborative: Apple products extend the way students learn and create together. By sharing online documents, individuals can contribute their unique talents to shared work. Pages is a great platform for making books where you can collaborate with others on a shared book. Native apps like Pages, Keynote and Numbers seamlessly correspond with popular ones like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel so you get the same experience and file formats you’re used to. In the Notes app, you can send a copy of a note to a friend an invite people to collaborate and everyone will see the latest changes as they occur. Reminders can be created jointly when working together towards a shared purpose.
Creativity in Class

Write naturally on the iPad and Scribble automatically converts handwriting into typed text. Visualise almost anything you can imagine, from maths concepts to works of art.
For students who love creating music or playing karaoke, iPad is your instrument. You can make music with or without an instrument on GarageBand. Capture every perspective of a topic by recording interviews, producing podcasts or telling engaging stories in GarageBand. Help students see the world through a different lens by harnessing the power of iMovie to tell authentic and engaging stories. Clips enables the use of everyday objects to tell compelling stories and simplify complex concepts. Using video, learners bring ideas to life using stop-motion techniques and create a world of possibilities with green-screen effects.
