Everyone Can Create
Apple designed the Everyone Can Create programme to help inject creativity to learning practices in more meaningful ways. It includes a collection of free project guides that introduce students to skills they can use to express themselves freely through a creative suite of video, drawing, music and photography on iPad. Through our network of Apple Professional Learning Specialists, BT can help you get up to speed with using the Everyone Can Create resources alongisde the curriculum.
Video
Video is becoming the norm in children's lives, so why not incorporate it into the curriculum? Using iPad cameras, Clips and iMovie, students can act out their first movie scene, film it, add effects, music and more. They can learn about camera angles, lighting and other techniques whilst creating documentaries and short films.
Drawing
Drawing encourages students to look at things more closely. Examining detail helps learners consider how things work and are built. Drawing lets students express themselves in ways they may not be able to with words, freeing their imagination and mind. Students can practice handwriting, shading, shapes, portraits and more with Apple pencil and drawing on iPad.
Music
Music can be an escape for some pupils. Building a song or melody isn't easy, that's why with iPad you can build blocks of verses, chorus and bridges from songs you already know. Using apps like GarageBand, students will learn how to build beats, arrange tracks and record their own vocals. Students can layer a soundtrack onto a short film they've just made or produce their own pop songs. Whatever they do, you'll be impressed.
Photography
Using the camera and photos app, pupils can explore beyond their usual reach with projects on nature, weather and more. They can experiment with light and shadow, explore composition and learn various photography techniques to capture scenes, portraits and collages. So why not send your class to the school field to see what they can find?
