iPad for Learning

A guide for parents

Every child is born full of creativity. Creativity
fuels learning, inspires self-expression and
drives innovation. In an increasingly digital
world, creativity and critical thinking are key
skills to prepare your child to thrive in today’s
world — and to shape tomorrow’s.

Ignite the creativity in every child.

iPad is designed to help children unleash their creative potential. The power and flexibility
of iPad give your child the freedom to explore and express new ideas whenever and
wherever inspiration strikes.

Keep their thoughts free flowing.

iPad is always ready to capture your child’s brightest
ideas. Apple Pencil is perfect for taking notes,
sketching observations or marking up documents
on iPad.1 Draw and annotate, or use Scribble to
turn handwriting into text.
1Apple Pencil is sold separately.

Channel their inner artist.

iPad is designed for complete freedom of
expression and movement. With Apple Pencil, your
child is empowered to be an artist. Apple Pencil can
be a pen, a paintbrush and more to create unique
illustrations or bring science to life with annotated
drawings of animals, plant cells or any other topics.

Build confidence.
iPad can help enhance children’s creativity, ideation
and communication skills to build confidence. With
the Clips app, they can capture moments and get
creative with Memoji and augmented reality effects.

Start coding with Swift
Playgrounds.
When children learn to code, they improve their
logical thinking skills and learn new ways to bring
ideas to life. Swift Playgrounds makes coding
simple and fun through a world of interactive
puzzles and playful characters.
Top reasons to get an iPad
With amazing apps and advanced built-in technologies, iPad gives children the
power to create anything they dream up. Yet it’s so intuitive, they can immediately
take an idea and run with it.
Powerful and productive.
Learning doesn’t always happen one app at a time.
iPad makes multitasking easy and intuitive. Your
child can use Slide Over or Split View to work with
multiple apps at the same time and even drag
content between apps using touch or a trackpad.

Connect with the world
through augmented reality.
Augmented reality (AR) on iPad can transform how
children learn about and connect with the world
around them. They can explore outer space, immerse
themselves in the wonders of the world and examine
art and historical artefacts from national museums —
in any learning environment.
Easy to use.
From the moment children pick up an iPad,
they’re ready to make things happen by tapping,
swiping, dragging and dropping. Multi-Touch
is a profoundly immersive and responsive
experience that gets children of all learning
styles fully engaged in what they’re doing. 
Portable and durable.
iPad is incredibly thin, so it’s light enough to
move around the classroom or take on any
adventure outside school. And it’s as durable
as it is portable, with an aluminium unibody
construction to withstand true hands-on learning.
