Course Content

In four lessons, we'll show you everything you need to start digital lessons with the iPad:

• Lesson 1 (Lesson planning: Brainstorming)
  The Notes app allows students and teachers to effortlessly capture ideas, sketch concepts and organise resources. With intuitive operation and seamless synchronisation, it offers space for creativity and structure at the same time.
  
  
• Lesson 2 (Lesson planning: Portfolio)
  With the Pages app, you can easily transform your traditional worksheets into interactive masterpieces. Integrate images, audio, video and interactive elements to enrich the learning process and learn how to create an eBook.
  
  
• Lesson 3 (Lesson planning: Work assignments rethought)
  In this lesson, you will learn how to create captivating memojis using the iPad. Discover how to cleverly add them as pictures or videos to your multimedia workbooks, adding a personal touch to your lessons.
  
  
• Lesson 4 (Lesson planning: Inspiration & Apple Learning Center)
  Motto: “Sharing is caring”. Educators use the technologies on the iPad in a variety of ways. In this lesson, we present many practice-oriented teaching examples that invite you to try them out in the class and motivate you to do something.
  Reference is also made here to the Apple Learning Center, where the content discussed in the MOOC is repeated and summarized.
