When educators and learners are not in the same room, strategies for communication are essential for continuing the learning process and collaborating with colleagues. In this video you’ll learn how to stay connected, collaborate and coach your students remotely with tools like Pages, Numbers, Keynote, FaceTime, and Messages.

It’s easy to turn traditional worksheets into fun and creative learning assignments. In this video you’ll learn how to take a built-in template in Pages for Mac and quickly customize it with placeholders for text, photos, and even a personalized video from you to guide your students. You’ll see how to share this new assignment as a template which lets students easily customize it with their own content.

Every Mac has built-in communication features that support learning. In this video, you’ll learn about helpful macOS features that support reading comprehension and writing composition. Using Safari Reader, students can improve reading skills by reducing visual clutter, and use Text to eseech for auditory reinforcement. In Pages, students can improve reading and writing skills with audio recordings to reflect on what they’ve learned, and use Dictation to focus on the writing process.

Nurturing creativity with students helps them develop skills needed for lifelong, active learning. In this video, you’ll learn how to engage students in creative learning activities using iPad built-in features like Camera to capture images, and Markup to personify an object or highlight historical clues. Students can bring these objects together using Pages for a writing assignment, or Numbers to create a science report, and easily add audio recordings, drawings, and more.

This lesson is for a math classroom, but can be adapted to fit any grade, subject, or content.  In this lesson, students will use an iPad and its features: Keynote, Pages, Garageband, Numbers, Presentation, and iMovie.  Students will use 3 of those features/programs to create a video lesson consisting of several examples from a topic of their choice.  This project is in place of a term final, so their chosen topic should be from their current term.Image citation: The image is one I created.
