What Can I do with iPad? (Video)

Unlock the magic of iPad in your classroom

As we gear up for another school year, I wanted to share something exciting that I think you'll find super helpful! I recently put together a video called “What Can I Do with iPad?” for our back-to-school professional development. The idea was to give our high school staff a quick glimpse into just how much these iPads can do as we all dive into their first year with 1:1 student iPads together.

 


The video serves as a fast-paced tour of some really cool features—like making movies with iMovie, creating your own podcasts, multitasking for classroom organization, and a bunch more. The video also emphasizes a very important point: you don’t have to know how to use *all* these tools right now. It’s totally okay to learn alongside your students. In fact, that’s half the fun! We’re all in this together, exploring and discovering what works best for us and our classrooms.

Each feature is a new adventure waiting to be uncovered. Maybe today you’ll play around with multitasking, and next week you might dive into some serious podcasting magic. The important thing is that you feel empowered to experiment and see what clicks for you, and what sparks the imagination of your students.

Features Showcased in the Video

Here are links to Forum Resources and/or Apple Support videos on how to utilize the features in the video:

After seeing how our staff responded, I thought this video might be something other teachers and tech coaches could enjoy too. Whether you're just starting with iPads or looking for fresh ideas, I hope this video sparks a little inspiration.

So go ahead—watch it, share it, and let’s continue to support each other! Here’s to a year full of learning, laughter, and a lot of “Aha!” moments!

Huge shout out to my ADE sisters Shayla Fortenberry, Eileen Vlamis, Amy Hiebert, Audriana Vigil, and Megan Trahan for their feedback and support in the creation of this! :)

Love this video as a springboard for conversations about "I didn't know or I forgot my iPad would do this...!" A great kickoff to positive professional learning for sure. Thanks so much for creating this!
