New Products from Apple

Apple has announced a new 9.7-inch iPad with support for Apple Pencil* and programs designed to spark student creativity. Everyone Can Create is a new, free curriculum that makes it easy for teachers to integrate drawing, music, filmmaking or photography into their existing lesson plans for any subject. The curriculum gives students different ways to express themselves and helps them to discover and develop new skills. Apple also announced Schoolwork, a new app that helps teachers create assignments, see student progress and tap into the power of apps in the classroom. Developed in collaboration with educators and creative professionals, Everyone Can Create includes teacher and student guides, lessons, ideas and examples to help teachers bring creativity and new communication skills into their classrooms. For example, students can use the built-in camera in iPad to learn about fractals or they can use Apple Pencil and apps like Tayasui Sketches to learn about symmetry. This spring, Apple Stores will begin teaching Everyone Can Create as part of their regular Today at Apple sessions for educators. Schoolwork is a new app that helps teachers create assignments, view student progress and bring the power of apps to the classroom. The app builds on the sucess of Apples’s Classroom app, which is used in schools around the world to help integrate iPads into the classroom. Schoolwork features Handouts, an easy way to create and send assignments with almost any type of content, from web links to PDFs and documents. apple.ca
