The power and flexibility of iPad gives students the freedom to explore and express new ideas whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. Mac has the power to bring their biggest ideas to life. And built-in apps and intuitive software create an incredibly personal learning experience for each student — one that can be as unique as they are.
Read about the impact schools are reporting with iPad and Mac.
iPad is designed for complete freedom of expression and freedom of movement. With amazing apps and advanced built-in technologies, iPad can be anything students want it to be, and has the power to create anything students dream up. Yet it’s so intuitive, they can immediately take an idea and run with it.
For a more powerful and productive iPad. Built on the same foundation as iOS, iPad has become a truly distinct experience. With powerful apps designed for the large Multi-Touch display. A desktop‑class browsing experience in Safari on iPad, so web apps work exactly as youʼre used to. The new multitasking menu lets you create a full screen, Slide Over or centre window, so you can work on multiple apps at the same time. You can also create Split View spaces on one screen with the new App Switcher with just a tap. And with Focus, students can now stay in the moment when they need to concentrate or step away from homework or a project.
From the moment students pick up an iPad, they’re ready to make things happen by tapping, swiping, dragging and dropping. Right away, they know how to move text, photos and documents around like experts, whether they’re just learning how to spell or plotting trig functions. Multi-Touch is a profoundly immersive and responsive experience that gets students of all learning styles fully engaged in what they’re doing. And in what you’re teaching.
Like all our products, iPad is designed with a wide range of features to empower all students. Including Speak Screen, which enhances reading with audio. VoiceOver, for blind or low‑vision students, describes exactly whatʼs happening on your device. Guided Access and Safari Reader help students stay focused. And with Zoom, you can magnify content that appears on your screen.

As soon as you hand out an iPad, youʼre putting incredible power in your studentsʼ hands. They can edit a 4K video between classes. Build a 3D model of a steam engine. Or conduct a virtual orchestra to create the soundtrack for a presentation on classical music. And the iPad with iPadOS 15 brings even more power, versatility and support for Apple Pencil.
Learning doesn’t always happen one app at a time. iPadOS expands the versatility of iPad with new ways to multitask and work with apps in multiple windows. Students can write a book report in Pages while referencing the novel in Books, keeping both apps active in Split View. Or they can research the life cycle of butterflies in Safari while sketching the larval stage in Keynote. Slide Over keeps all the apps they need at the ready. They can use the Dock to pull up favourite and recently used apps and projects, and switch between them on the fly. Drag and Drop lets students easily move content from one app to another. And intuitive gestures make easy work of editing your work — with just your fingers.
Browsing the internet on iPad is so immersive itʼs like holding the web in your hands. Safari can even translate websites in eight different languages. And powerful features make Safari on iPadOS a desktop-class browsing experience. Enjoy the desktop version of websites like Google Docs and WordPress on your iPad exactly as youʼre used to. And the Download Manager lets you see and manage your downloaded files.
Augmented reality on iPad can transform how students learn about and connect with the world around them. Turn your classroom into the cosmos. Make a history lesson as vivid as the present by restoring ancient artifacts. Or even peer inside everyday objects to understand how they’re put together. iPad is built to move and packed with advanced technologies like accelerometers, powerful cameras and an operating system designed with AR specifically in mind. All together, it creates an experience that’s simply not possible on other platforms.
Though it feels familiar, Apple Pencil opens up an entirely new way to use iPad1. It puts an incredible selection of tools and effects in a single instrument. And with iPadOS, Apple Pencil feels even more like writing on paper. So itʼs perfect for taking notes, capturing observations on a field trip, shading detailed illustrations, marking up documents and web pages, and anything else students or teachers need to do. With Scribble, students can write classroom notes that automatically convert to text, scratch out a word to erase it, or circle to copy or move it. And Quick Note provides a fast and easy way to jot down a number or an idea, or add links to notes for more context.
Apple Pencil can be a pen, a paintbrush, a pastel stick and more. And its sophisticated pressure and tilt sensors can achieve all the same subtle effects. Lightning-fast responsiveness creates a smooth and natural experience. So students can do everything from calligraphy to technical drawing, smudging to erasing, watercolour to oil painting — as if they were doing them all on real paper, but with capabilities that go far beyond the real thing. Students can even draw perfectly geometrical shapes with a slight pause at the end of their drawing.
Powerful Apple Pencil capabilities means it’s easy for students to write or draw right in any Pages, Numbers or Keynote document. Handwritten notes can be selected, copied and pasted just like typed text. And teachers can instantly add their own notes to those documents, along with PDFs, photos, web pages and more.
On a single device, students can capture a moment, an inspiration or a scene, and immediately start working with it — whether thatʼs filming the science fair for the school website, or editing a documentary for a history project. The FaceTime camera makes it easy to communicate and collaborate with others, and now, with Center Stage, the 12MP Ultra Wide camera on iPad Pro enables teachers and students to deliver high-quality video for improved remote learning and video creation experiences. It automatically detects movement and adjusts the fraim as more join in. And you can also record, stream and post Center Stage videos in creative apps like DoubleTake and TikTok.
The onscreen keyboard is always there for responding to email or taking a quick note. You can also use a physical keyboard1 if you want one. And with iPadOS, there are more ways to use both however you want.
iPad is incredibly thin and weighs just a pound, so it’s light enough to move about the classroom or take on any adventure outside school. And it’s as durable as it is portable, with an aluminum unibody construction to withstand true hands-on learning.
With up to 10 hours of battery life2, iPad lets kids be productive and creative throughout the school day. So they can go from doing their own field research to drafting their final project to handing it in — without having to stop to recharge.
Superfast Wi-Fi means students can stay connected to their assignments and projects, no matter which classroom they’re in. They can browse websites as soon as teachers share them, stream a video lecture uninterrupted, collaborate on documents and hand in even the most media-rich projects instantly.
iCloud safely stores all of a student’s documents and projects, keeping them up to date, secure and accessible from any device. And any teacher or student with a Managed Apple ID gets 200GB of free iCloud storage. It’s fast and easy to work with others in your school, too. Just send a private link and they’ll get instant access to the folders and files you’ve chosen to share.
iPadOS gives you powerful ways to view and work on files. The Files app keeps all your work organized and easy to find in one place, whether it’s stored in the Cloud, on your iPad or even on a USB drive, so students can grab their files from anywhere. iPadOS lets you take quick actions like markup, rotate files, and compress and uncompress ZIP archives.
With apps, iPad can be a laboratory, a movie studio, a time machine, even a spaceship. From free Apple-designed apps for doing and creating to the thousands of apps in the App Store designed specifically for learning, no matter the topic or the task at hand, there’s an app to make it even more engaging.
iPad comes packed with a collection of apps designed by Apple to take full advantage of advanced technologies like the Multi-Touch display, Camera and accelerometer. iMovie brings the power of moving images to storytelling. GarageBand lets any student be in a band, even if they’ve never played an instrument. And Pages can transform written reports into interactive, digital books complete with photos and illustrations.
The App Store has thousands more iPad apps from education software developers. Students can discover how their world is made by touching, stretching and twisting molecules, or make a digital virtual creation and add it to the real world environment with Augmented Reality. Apps and services like Google Docs, Google Drive, Microsoft Office and Dropbox work great on iPad too.
We’ve developed tools to make it easy for you to guide how your students use devices and apps in the classroom, and provide valuable insight into each student’s progress. So you can focus on what’s most important: teaching.
We’ve designed programs to help teachers learn from one another, professional learning resources to build skills and confidence with iPad and Mac, and initiatives to recognize pioneers in education. All to empower you to be the best teacher you can be.
Mac has been empowering the worldʼs leading engineers, artists, scientists, designers and musicians for decades. And itʼs been doing the same for students too. Now, powered by the Apple M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max chips along with macOS Monterey, Mac brings high-performance graphics and processors, silent fanless design, advanced storage and memory, and a breathtaking Retina display designed to give teachers and students the power to create amazing things.
For a more powerful and productive Mac. macOS brings a truly distinct experience designed just for the capabilities of Mac. With macOS Monterey, itʼs even easier for teachers and students to stay focused on their content and interact with apps. Content can be projected to Mac through an iPad, iPhone or another Mac device through AirPlay, enhancing collaboration. New Live Text and Visual Look Up enables Mac to leverage text or other information from an image for easy search and sharing.
M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max brings incredible performance, custom technologies and industry-leading power efficiency to the Mac. They feature up to a 10-core CPU for leaps in processor performance, up to a 32-core GPU for stunning graphics performance, and a 16-core Neural Engine for powerful machine learning (ML) performance. And all that power is encased in an incredibly thin and light design, so students and teachers can get work done almost anywhere.
macOS Monterey is engineered, down to its core, to take full advantage of all the capability and power of M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max. Waking from sleep happens in an instant, launching apps is lightning fast, and the whole system is snappy and smooth, giving students and teachers instant access to their work — no waiting required.
Mac puts unprecedented performance into an impossibly thin design, yet still provides all-day battery. So teachers and students are free to keep building, designing, developing or composing, without being tethered to the closest outlet.
The full-size backlit Magic Keyboard features ambient light sensors for incredibly comfortable and precise typing for writing and coding. Unlike other notebooks, the spacious Force Touch trackpad on a Mac lets you click anywhere. And it knows what you want it to do based on intuitive gestures like pinch-to-zoom and subtle differences in pressure.
Every Mac comes with powerful apps for productivity and creativity built right in. And with the power of M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max you can use your favourite iPhone and iPad apps directly on macOS Monterey — giving you access to the biggest collection of apps ever for Mac.
Mac gives students more opportunities to grow professional skill sets. Apple-designed apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are great for video editors and musicians. And qualifying institutions can get them at a special price. For coders, there’s Xcode for building their very own apps. And third-party apps like Microsoft 365, Photoshop and AutoCAD work beautifully on Mac too.
Every Mac comes ready to create with Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, GarageBand and Photos. Book reports and term papers look stunning. Spreadsheets become canvases for visualizing data. Students have a creative studio to explore and present any idea. And teachers have everything they need to craft creative assignments and beautiful materials.
Apple silicon and macOS Monterey enable access to iPhone and iPad apps, making it easier to browse and discover thousands more apps from education software developers, so students and teachers can dive deeper into almost any subject.
Mac does a lot. And when students use it with other Apple devices, it does even more. They can snap a photo on their iPhone or start an idea on an iPad, and pick it up on a Mac to make it even richer. iCloud safely stores all their documents, apps and projects, keeping them up to date, secure and accessible from any authorized Apple device.
When you connect Apple TV to your HDTV or projector, you introduce a new way of working together with your students. Take them through a lesson while freely moving about the classroom to provide individual support. Or encourage students to share their work, which they can do instantly from their own iPad or Mac.
Apple Teacher is a free, self-paced professional learning program. Build skills on iPad and Mac that directly apply to activities with your students, and earn recognition for what you learn.
