Course Content

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

• Lesson 1 (Basics: Settings)
  We affectionately call this part button science. Here you will learn the basics of the iPad and find your way around the basic settings.
  
  
• Lesson 2 (Basics: Camera)
  The camera app is always underestimated. Here you can not only create photos and videos, but you can also use slo-motion and time-lapse recordings for your lessons.
  
  
• Lesson 3 (Basics: Photos)
  The Photos app offers a variety of options. Besides creating albums, you can edit photos/videos instantly. The screen section can be changed in just a few steps, photos can be labeled or painted over. Movies are created and exported in no time.
  
  
• Lesson 4 (Basics: 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.
