A new feature that is very helpful is that you don't have to be logged in to access this information. An idea to try is to provide students with links to help them explore different apps or learning.
For example: if I want students to use iMovie, I don't have to be an expert on iMovie. I can let students go to the Learning Center.
➔ Choose what app you want students to learn more about. (Example: iMovie on iPad)
The Apple Education Community has some amazing resources available for free! Sign in with your AppleID (WCSD email) to find helpful resources for any skill level — from quick tutorials to inspirational ideas.
