iPad Bootcamp

This iPad Bootcamp is designed to teach your students a range of iPad, internet and media arts skills while completing a series of tasks. Each task develops a specific skill in its own app and can be assessed.
This workbook can be accomplished over a week or extended throughout the year. You can customise it for your classroom by removing any pages that might be too difficult for your classroom.
It does not matter which grade your students are in; every student will enjoy colouring, recording a video, designing a playground, and making a stop motion video.
Download the file straight to your iPad or place it on your icloud or google drive, you can then share it between all of the ipads using airdrop.
This file uses Pages, a free app from Apple that is available from the app store here.
