Today’s pupils and students prefer to study on a Mac – and it’s a great choice, no doubt about it. We tell you all about it in our last review<\/a>. But an iPad tablet can do much more than just help you pass the time when you’re travelling or entertain you before you go to sleep. What is it? We’ll tell you in our new review. And we’ll also offer you iPad models at bargain prices.<\/p>\n

High scores \u2013 thanks to the iPad<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the very first presentation of the iPad in 2010, Apple has always emphasized the superior educational function of its tablet. Numerous studies by American universities confirm this.<\/p>\n

For example, Abilene Christian University has been studying the impact of mobile devices on learning for three years. As a result, it was found that students who studied with iPads performed 25% better than their peers who used paper-based materials.<\/p>\n

Schools in New York, California, Chicago, Virginia, Illinois and other cities are also actively using tablets in the learning process. The paper-based media, which quickly become outdated, have been replaced by e-books \u2013 they can even be used to take notes, make bookmarks, and highlight important things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lectures and notes<\/strong> are now easier to keep in one app and organize the subject library within it.<\/p>\n

Educational films<\/strong> don’t have to be watched on a projector in crowded classrooms where students or pupils crouch on each other’s laps. Every student can go into space with a tablet in their hands and see the beauty of the planets and constellations in all their colors!<\/p>\n

For design, architecture and art<\/strong> students, the iPad is an indispensable tool!<\/p>\n

For younger pupils, there are plenty of game apps that encourage imagination, concentration and logical thinking.<\/p>\n

And for teachers, iPad makes it easy to organize and control the curriculum:<\/strong> it doesn’t take up too much space in their bag, is always on hand and ready to use at the touch of a finger.<\/p>\n

Limitless possibilities: what can you do on an iPad?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Apple tablet has a lot of advantages that make it stand out in the market among similar devices. But one of the most obvious advantages is that the iPad<\/strong> is very light. It takes up little space in a backpack – unlike a laptop or, for example, a stack of notebooks and thick textbooks.<\/p>\n

In addition, iPad is as versatile a device as possible. You can use it to make calls like an iPhone<\/strong>, use it to type like a Mac<\/strong> if you buy a keyboard case<\/strong>, and use it with the Apple Pencil<\/strong> <\/a>to draw like a paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are so many cool features and apps built into the slim, compact iPad! They’re great for studying. You can download missing apps for free or buy them from the App Store. The collection is so big, you’re sure to find everything you need to make learning productive and fun.<\/p>\n

For example, did you know that iPad supports the Handwriting function<\/strong>? With the Apple Pencil, we can take notes on a lecture in Notes, write like a normal pencil, and then convert even the most incomprehensible handwriting into printable text. The stylus takes both tilt and pressure into account, and changing color is easy.<\/p>\n

Users rely on Keynote<\/strong> for presentations, Pages<\/strong> for text and Numbers<\/strong> for spreadsheets. Whatever you’re working on, a tablet will make your project look far more convincing and impactful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s not just text that you can work with on iPad. Procreate<\/strong> or Adobe Sketch<\/strong> offer incredible possibilities for creating illustrations, Adobe Photoshop<\/strong> and Lightroom<\/strong> make it easy to edit photos, and LumaFusion<\/strong> or CapCut<\/strong> can be used to edit videos.<\/p>\n

The iDoceo<\/strong> app has been developed especially for teachers<\/strong>. It can help with timetable planning, curriculum development, uploading reports, grading and more.<\/p>\n

But there are even more striking examples of use of the iPad’s in learning. Curious explorers will surely be interested in the Brainapse<\/strong> app, which provides a fascinating glimpse into… the human skull and brain! Learn how the brain interacts with the 5 senses, how brain cells ‘communicate’ with each other, how the human brain has evolved and what has influenced it.<\/p>\n

Thanks to augmented reality<\/strong>, medical students can have an interactive and downright immersive experience. The Froggipedia<\/strong> app allows you to study the life cycle of a frog and dissect them… with an Apple Pencil. Just imagine how many frogs have been saved by the creators of the app! And what other amazing discoveries you can make with your iPad.<\/p>\n
