Managing iPads with Apple Configurator
So, you have purchased some iPads for school and found some great apps to use in the classroom – but now managing, purchasing and installing apps is becoming cumbersome. Apple Configurator is ideal for preparing multiple iPads, installing apps and defining settings.
iPads A-Z
As more schools decide to introduce iPads into their classrooms, teachers are not only asking, ‘Where do I start?’ but ‘How can I get the best out of what an iPad has to offer?’. iPads A-Z is a one day workshop that equips teachers to become confident and creative in their use of iPads.
iPads in Action: Mathematics
A great number of mathematical apps have been created for Primary School students. iPads in Action: Mathematics will outline and review the various styles of apps that have been designed and discuss how best to use them in classroom settings.
iPads in Action: Digital Storytelling
Students are captivated by multimedia experiences and enjoy reading eBooks. This workshop will demonstrate and review a variety of iPad apps that enable students to cleverly capture, create and share their own digital stories.
