Home » Tools for teaching with Apple

Here are a few things we know about teachers that have not adopted the proper use of technology:

Teachers are spending more time than ever on administrative tasks
The time spent dedicated to lesson planning and delivering is decreasing
Every student has individual learning needs, and teachers are struggling to devote enough time to each and every pupil

Teachers can save time marking, streamline planning and give students deeper, more meaningful feedback with digital tools on iPad. We provide everything that a school would need to achieve this in a classroom, including coaching from an Apple Professional Learning Specialist to embed the tools in teaching practice.

It’s time to take back control of your teaching time! Reduce teacher workload with Apple technology

Teachers need access to tools that can help them to streamline their workflow and reduce their overall workload. Tools that can provide instant feedback on schoolwork, guide students through a lesson and keep the class focused on the task, as well as share information and documents with pupils, staff and the parents across the school. By adopting the right technologies and use of the right apps, you can finally focus on what’s most important: teaching.

Report and keep track of students progress on a daily basis

Reduce marking on the evening & weekends

Keep pupils focused on the task at hand with the Classroom app

Assistive software for planning your lessons

Tools for teaching

Classroom: Your new teaching assistant

Through the use of Classroom, you can guide your students through a lesson as well as monitor their progress. This app also gives teachers the capability to launch the same app on every student device. Alternatively, you can launch different apps across each iPad if your students are working in groups.

Best features of the app:

There is a feature on the Classroom app called ‘Screen View’, which allows teachers to view what is on each students screen
You have the power to lock or pause all screens
At the end of the lesson, log all students out of Shared iPad
Airdrop any file to any Apple device in the classroom

Schoolwork: For you & your students

Reduce your workload and maximise student potential. You can collaborate and provide instant feedback, tailor instructions to suit student needs, and more effectively organise assignments to automatically appear on student devices. You can also keep track of each student’s progress, which will allow you to tailor the teaching needs to suit them.

So, what’s the difference between Schoolwork and Classroom?

Classroom allows you to manage the pupils in the class, whereas Schoolwork allows teachers to view the progress of each pupil
Classroom allows teachers to see the capability and performance level of each pupil within the group, and Schoolwork compliments this feature by giving teachers a live view of how students are performing and managing the group task as individual performers
The best part is that the two apps complement each other; through Classroom you can lock students in to view a particular screen, and Schoolwork allows you to highlight the content you want students to focus on.

Everyone Can Create gives anyone the tools to develop and communicate their ideas. It gives teachers projects to bring creativity to every subject with iPad. And it gives parents new ways to engage with their children and nurture skills for learning and beyond. It’s about igniting and championing creativity — because creativity is at the heart of what moves our world forwards.

Everyone Can Code

When you teach code, you’re also teaching logic, creativity and problem-solving – skills all students need for the future. The Everyone Can Code curriculum from Apple introduces students to the world of coding through interactive puzzles, playful characters and activities for both in and out of the classroom.

Empowering you in the classroom

We understand that your teaching staff need to be completely confident after the deployment of new technologies. That’s why we offer hands-on training, mentoring and coaching tailored to your requirements so that your school can amplify the way you work and better facilitate learning in the workplace and classroom.
