iPad in Education

iPad in Education

iPad has changed everything. Including the classroom. It has changed the way teachers teach and taking learning way beyond the classroom. There are thousands of education apps, books and courses, to make lessons come to life like never before. The iPad has software designed exclusively for educators, to manage the classroom and collaborate with students in new ways.

This is a powerful free iPad app that helps teachers guide learning, share work and manage student devices. It is easy to set up on the teacher’s iPad with the help of MDM.

Accessibility

Powerful assistive features are built into iPad to complement vision, hearing, motor skills, learning and literacy to create opportunities for all learners. Conveniently stored together under Accessibility in Settings, here are just three of them.

Display Accommodations

To help with colour blindness or other vision challenges, iOS will let you invert colours, enable greyscale or colour filters can be applied. These settings will apply to everything once set and can be customised to what works for you.

Zoom

Working in full screen or picture-in-picture, Zoom is a built-in screen magnifier that can be adjusted between 100 and 1,500% allowing you to see the zoomed area in a separate window. It also works with VoiceOver.

VoiceOver

VoiceOver offers support for more than 30 languages and quite simply will tell you exactly what is happening on the screen of your Mac or iPad, when you can’t see it. Giving auditory descriptions and helpful hints, the speaking rate and pitch can be adjusted to your preference.
