Built for Learning

Why Apple is best in class

For 40 years, Apple has helped unleash the creative potential in every student. Not only with powerful products, but also with apps, inspiration and content to help educators create magical learning experiences. It’s why students and teachers alike love Apple products — and parents will, too.

Apple products are built for learning.

Apple products put complete freedom of expression in the hands of every student. iPad is simple enough for anyone to master from the start, and flexible enough to let students go wherever their ideas take them. Mac provides the power to pursue even the most ambitious projects. And with the latest technology, like augmented reality, what kids can do with Apple products is as limitless as their imagination.

Apple has the best platform for education apps.

The App Store has over 180,000 iPad apps from education software developers. Students can discover how their world is made by touching, stretching and twisting molecules. See the human body from the inside out. Or study, rotate and even operate revolutionary scientific inventions. And apps and services like Google Docs, Google Drive, Microsoft Office and Dropbox work great on iPad, too.

Apple products are designed for every child.

Apple products are designed with a wide range of accessibility features for vision, hearing, motor skills, learning and literacy to empower students of all abilities. So they can control iPad with just their voice. Or have content on the screen read aloud to them. And teachers and parents can limit apps and other distractions to help kids stay focused.

Privacy is built into everything Apple makes.

All Apple products have privacy and security built in from the ground up to protect kids and put parents at ease. Apple will never sell student information, share it with third parties or build profiles of students based on their online behaviour. So kids can enjoy devices, apps and services that keep their information secure.

Apple products grow with kids.

Apple devices are made with exceptional materials so they last longer and hold a much higher percentage of their value compared to other devices. And they’re highly recyclable. Plus, with free, easy iOS updates, kids will always have the latest features and privacy protections.

What goes great with iPad for learning

Accessories and apps make learning on iPad even more fun — and practical, too. They give iPad the flexibility it needs to be anything students need, from a notepad to a canvas to a computer. All in one mobile device that’s built to move — and to be handled.

Code and Create with Apple

Apple products help students learn to 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. And from the start, they’ll learn to code in Swift, the same programming language used by professionals to build powerful apps. Everyone Can Code is a set of free resources built around the Swift Playgrounds app that inspires students to code and solve real-world challenges. It includes teacher and student guides that offer flexible, engaging lessons designed to work for an hour or a whole semester. For after-school or summer learning programs, there are complementary Swift Coding Club materials. And app showcases give aspiring coders a chance to celebrate their ingenuity with the community, whether they’re learning in or out of the classroom.

 
 

Apple products ignite creativity.

Apple was founded on the idea that technology can unleash creativity — and they’ve designed hardware and powerful apps like GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote, Clips and Swift Playgrounds to do just that. Technology can play a major role in helping every learner be a creator, and Apple knew they could do more to help teachers bring out the creative genius in every child. Because creativity needs champions, and nowhere is this more important than in the classroom. In 2016, Apple launched the Everyone Can Code program because they believe that every student should have the opportunity to learn to read and write code. Now they’re going even further with Everyone Can Create, which introduces students to the skills they need to express themselves through drawing, music, video and photography with iPad. And it gives teachers meaningful ways to bring these skills into every subject — so students can get more out of the powerful tools they have access to every day. Each guide provides a range of projects to help students learn vocabulary and techniques in a specific medium. And the Teacher Guide has 300 ideas on how to integrate the projects from each medium into maths, literacy and literature, history and social studies, science and coding. Everyone Can Create gives students the tools to develop and communicate ideas with iPad. It gives teachers projects to bring creativity to every subject, and parents new ways to engage with their children and nurture skills for learning and beyond. It’s about igniting and championing creative potential — because creativity is at the heart of what moves our world forward.
