Using an iPad as a tool in teaching and learning allows students to capture, develop, manage, share and  publish their learning in the creative, engaging, multimedia way they experience the world.

Apps on our school devices have been carefully selected so that students become creators of their learning rather than consumers. Some of the Apps on each school iPad are:

Popplet  creates mind maps that can include text, images and drawings. Students can use colour to differentiate branches of the mind map. This app is used to organise ideas and plan.

Book Creator enables students to create their own content that can then be exported as an EPUB file (read in iBooks) or PDF. These books are multimodal in nature and enable students to add content as text, image, video and audio.

Pic Collage create posters and images using Pic Collage which can then be used in other apps or printed.

Explain Everything an easy-to-use design, screencasting, and interactive whiteboard tool that lets students annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export almost anything to and from almost anywhere.

 
Tellagami allows students to communicate through an avatar that they can customise to create a digital story or explain a concept.
 
iMovie allows students to add footage, sound, text, music or smash apps to create a digital story, trailer or movie.
 
GarageBand allows students to create soundscapes, podcasts or a piece of music which can be added to digital stories students have created.
