Course Content

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

• Lesson 1 (Image & Sound: Voice recordings)
  The app "Sprachmemos" on the iPad enables uncomplicated audio recordings. Ideal for oral exercises, presentations and language analysis in class. Students can listen to their progress and work on their speaking skills.
  
  
• Lesson 2 (Image & Sound: Printer & scanner always with you)
  Experience magical moments in class! Learn how to make annoying ads disappear from web pages in the Safari browser. Amaze everyone by creating PDFs with ease. And as a bonus: Discover how to scan documents and create digital masterpieces. Your iPad becomes a magic wall of knowledge!
  
  
• Lesson 3 (Image & Sound: Dictation)
  Discover the magical transformation of your words in class on the iPad: Speak texts, they become writing. Let stories come alive when the iPad magic reads aloud. And open the gates to new horizons by effortlessly stepping over language barriers - let the art of translation amaze you. Turn learning into magic!
  
  
• Lesson 4 (Image & Sound: 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.
