High School

Apple Classroom

"Classroom is a powerful iPad app that helps teachers guide learning, share work, and manage student devices."
(SPA doesn't have too much experience with Classroom, but we've definintely been looking closely at it. Let us know if you've used it in your classroom!)

iBooks

A nice overall guide from Apple is an iBook entitled, aptly enough, Discovering Educational Content for iPad.
Another good choice is Evaluating Apps for the Classroom.
There are plenty more to read in Apple's iBook Education section.

Swift Playgrounds

Overview of Swift Playgrounds
A fantastic new app from Apple that walks you through coding in Swift (the language of iOS apps). The interactive tutorials are great for students, but are also work extremely well for adults. Even if you don't think you want to learn how to code apps, this is a great introduction to the process and mindset required to code.

Apple Notes

Notes Overview
Notes is a deceptively simple app that quickly becomes indispensable. Sync notes across devices, access your notes from iCloud, and work collaboratively!
