When teachers are empowered, they can make anything happen. At Mallya Aditi International School, a private 1‑12 school, a group of passionate teachers imagined a world where every student had access to a powerful set of tools, and every teacher could create their own rich and engaging curriculum.

In 2012, they started small, with an iPad for every teacher. The reception was so positive that, by 2014, the school leadership invested in and deployed an iPad for every student and teacher across the entire elementary and middle schools. Thanks to creative tools such as the built-in camera and microphone on iPad, and powerhouse apps like iMovie, Clips, and GarageBand, teachers can facilitate learning in a way that works best for them — and their students.

In one biology lesson, students create animated GIFs in Keynote, bringing the system of interdependent food chains to life and deepening their understanding of the subject matter — all while learning valuable creative skills. And with Apple TV in every classroom, students easily share their creations and learnings with the class.

“It’s inspiring to see how students are collaborating with each other. Their favorite part is creating videos in Clips on iPad, which helps them to learn and summarize concepts, rather than having to memorize. iPad just makes everything so simple,” says Elementary Coordinator and Teacher, Rekha Chari.

Prior to iPad, teachers shared lesson plans, notes, and assignments on an ad-hoc basis via USB drives or email. Now they’re actively collaborating in free Apple apps like Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. And Apple’s Professional Learning resources — including on-demand tutorials in the Learning Center — are a go-to for all their teachers to find creative ideas.

From professional learning offerings that inspire creative lesson plans, to tools that help students express their learning, iPad is supporting Mallya Aditi’s vision of creating the ideal environment for teaching and learning.

Scottish Borders, Scotland

A rural community introduced iPad, and opportunities, to 68 schools.

The Scottish Borders Council decided to invest in technology for all schools across their district as a commitment to the community’s future. They wanted to give students equal access to learning and provide educators with intuitive, easy-to-use tools for teaching. They needed devices that worked as well offline as they did online to overcome barriers caused by remote access in their rural area. And they knew that the young people in their community had to develop vital skills to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

The council considered Apple alongside every alternative. With its wide range of features and professional learning resources, iPad stood out as the best tool for teaching and learning. They created a plan called “Inspire Learning” that led to financing and deployment of thousands of devices across the 1,800-square-mile region.

“We wanted to demonstrate the value that we placed upon education,” says David Robertson, chief financial officer of the Scottish Borders Council. “We looked at the total cost of ownership: the initial cost of the devices, the residual value that we could get from them, the leasing deal with Apple Finance. To us, Apple offered the best value for the money.”

After implementing iPad and Apple Professional Learning across 68 primary and secondary schools, educators saw an enormous change in their classrooms. With iPad, educators were creating more interactive lessons than ever before. Its mobility allowed for immersive learning experiences from anywhere, including at home throughout the pandemic. And its versatility supported the entire curriculum — from horticulture lessons where students use Clips to make movies about native plants to English lessons where they use Keynote to bring stories about Macbeth to life.

“I can’t imagine having a classroom without iPad now. It levels the playing field because everybody gets one,” says educator Catherine Little. “That’s what equity is to me. It’s about giving people what they need, when they need it.”

At D’Incao Instituto de Ensino in Brazil, students aren’t just learning about positive change — they’re making it happen. School director and founder Pedro D’Incao, along with his brother and co-founder Carlos D’Incao, chose to bring Apple technology into the classroom from day one. The school takes on issues like climate change and social justice, and they’ve found that Apple is a perfect partner that shares their values.

“Knowledge is much more than words in a book. Everything is connected. It’s not just training in subjects like physics or history or coding, but showing how to integrate them into the real world,” says Pedro D’Incao. “That’s one reason why every student here has an iPad. We’ve seen the difference in how students learn when they can take it into the field.”

Every student from primary through high school is treated as a changemaker, and is encouraged to have an impact on the world and the people in it. One biology class focused on learning about blood types. After gaining coding skills through Everyone Can Code resources from Apple, students used iPad to build an app that connects blood banks to people in need of transfusions.

Taking their learning outside, an environmental science class went to a nearby river to investigate their local water supply. They brought iPad and wireless sensors to collect data about water quality, captured videos to document their experiences, and created a Keynote presentation to share their findings with the local government.

“With tools and resources from Apple and the context they get from their studies, students learn that they can really have an impact. That it’s possible for them to analyze things in a critical way and have a voice,” says Pedro D’Incao.

Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, United States

An entire district is coding a path to equal access. And to the workforce.

Montgomery County Public Schools have over 161,000 students, and many of them come from underserved and underrepresented communities. This makes preparing everyone to succeed all the more important. When the district’s superintendent, Dr. Monifa B. McKnight, realized that opportunities for students could expand if they learned to code, she implemented new programs using Apple products and the Apple programming language Swift.

As part of the programs, Dr. McKnight works closely with local economic experts and state officials to figure out where job opportunities in her county are growing. With biotechnology and cybersecurity expanding, she makes sure that the students in her schools have the skills they need to work in those industries — including app design, software development, and an understanding of the latest tools and platforms.

“We chose Apple products and coding resources because they help students learn skills that will prepare them for the future. It’s a conduit to access for students who otherwise might have been limited,” says Dr. McKnight.

One of the district’s most successful initiatives is Montgomery Can Code, a summer program that was launched in 2019. It’s based on Apple’s Everyone Can Code guides, which help students of all ages learn about software engineering. The program gives sixth, seventh, and eighth graders the opportunity to use iPad to design apps in Keynote and prototype them in Swift. Montgomery Can Code also helps connect students with internships and job opportunities at local businesses, and more than 3,000 students have participated. It even inspired the ignITe Hub at Montgomery College, a collaborative space for the larger community to learn coding and entrepreneurial skills.

“Montgomery County was the right place for a coding initiative with Apple. Every child has a gift or strength they’re not aware of, and it’s up to us to help them find what that is. Regardless of socioeconomic status. Regardless of anything someone may see as an obstacle. This program gives students the power to solve problems that exist in their communities with the best tools possible. There’s power in that,” says Dr. McKnight.

Nowra Public School, a 160-year-old school in rural New South Wales, wanted to enable a culture of collaboration among educators. And they needed to provide more opportunities for their socioeconomically diverse student population — including over 27 percent Indigenous Australians and a growing number of students learning English as a second language. Deputy principal Brad Tate, in partnership with the school leadership team, took a bold approach: He equipped each student and teacher with an iPad and Apple Pencil, deploying hundreds of devices across the school.

“Our technology lead was able to manage an enormous fleet of devices. It was surprisingly easy for one person to handle that workload,” says Tate.

With Apple School Manager, Christopher Veljanovski, the onsite tech support officer, easily provides every student and teacher with exactly what they need on their devices. Everyone receives a unique Managed Apple ID, making onboarding feel effortless. The Classroom app lets educators distribute lesson plans and review students’ work in real time. And the Files app on educators’ devices enables them to share work privately and securely.

Deploying iPad has been so simple that teachers can focus on creating a culture of collaboration. Within the Apple Education Community, teachers can access an array of online resources created by Apple and other educators. Nowra teachers share their own lessons and learnings to help other teachers around the world engage their students.

“With Apple, we created something above and beyond what anyone expected from a regional public school. It’s great that people are paying attention to what we created, but the best reward is the response we’re receiving from our students and our community,” says Tate.

At Panyapiwat Institute of Management Demonstration School, educators use technology in creative and engaging ways. And they’re recognized for it: Every teacher is Apple Teacher recognized and earns badges through the free Apple Professional Learning program. This program teaches educators foundational skills on iPad and Mac as well as how to use Apple apps specifically created for teaching and learning. One example is the Schoolwork app, which allows teachers to collaborate one on one with students easily and in real time — creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and connected.

“Through our commitment to professional development, teachers in this school are becoming a model for other teachers in Thailand. It’s encouraging because I know they’re helping other schools to make our country even better,” says deputy director Prawit Srinongwa.

As a result, educators are innovating across every subject. Science lessons combine hands-on work with augmented reality — students use iPad to research topics, visualize anatomy, and perform dissections in the lab. In mathematics class, students use animations in Keynote to better recognize and understand the logic behind equations. And everyone is given the opportunity to pursue extracurricular activities that harness creative thinking and problem-solving skills, such as joining the Swift Coding Club to learn app development.

“Our teachers encourage students to build their self-esteem and explore their full potential,” says school director Anchalee Phuprasert. “Training our teachers on iPad ultimately helps students to express their imaginations and find their passions. That’s really important to us.”

At Madrasah Alsagoff Al‑Arabiah, one of the oldest Islamic schools in Singapore, principal Syed Mustafa blends modern technologies and traditional values to create a path for students to become vocal leaders. He encourages a culture of creativity, compassion, and collaboration — and believes technology is an avenue for developing and sharing critical thinking skills. So for the last 10 years, he’s equipped every student with an iPad, every school leader with a Mac, and every classroom with an Apple TV.

“Students should be given the opportunity to be creative,” says Mustafa. “They need to be critical in their thinking and brave enough to share it. Apple technology helps because sometimes when you ask students to voice their opinion, they may not feel capable of doing it. But with these tools, even the quietest students can be heard.”

Students use iPad and Apple Pencil to write in Arabic about Islamic values, culture, and experiences and share their reflections in digital storybooks. Every student also learns and practices public speaking by telling their personal stories in Keynote and sharing them with classmates via Apple TV. And they regularly use iPad for activities involving design, including a recent competition to create new school uniforms.

In their final year at Madrasah Alsagoff Al‑Arabiah, students participate in a global leadership program that has a real impact on a community of their choice. One group of students proposed building a library at a school in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. A presentation in Keynote clearly articulated their plan, which included a budget to kick off fundraising efforts and make it a reality. Today, the library serves over 180 students.

“Apple isn’t just making our school a ‘technology school.’ It’s giving students the skills and confidence they’ll need to be successful leaders in our community and the world,” says Mustafa.
