Education at Your Fingertips
Monday, January 9th, 2012It is somewhat ironic that children in schools started off with slates and chalk, and using the iPad for education is a similar image, although with far greater capabilities of course. Children can use some of the App Store’s thousands of apps for educational purposes while in the classroom, and because there’s something for everyone, they appeal to all learning styles and ages in different ways. Most children have used an Apple device or similar at some point, and so are familiar with the way they work, and are also more likely to continue using the same or similar apps at home as well.
While the Apple Mac for students has been a common feature in the classroom for many years now, the iPad brings something new to the table. Not only do you no longer need lots of computers taking up valuable space in the classroom, but the pupils can use the iPad to take their learning beyond the four walls of the classroom thanks to its light and compact nature making it utterly transportable for all ages.
Apple for education is popular because of the highly sophisticated software programs which have been developed, particularly when it comes to music and video. The iPad is no different on this score, allowing users to record songs or put together videos in high definition. Completed projects can then be shown to the rest of the class by connecting the iPad to an HDTV or projection screen and likewise if teachers want to use it to display teaching materials.
Change the Way You Work with iPad
Monday, January 2nd, 2012For the small business owner, an iPad may seem like a significant investment but in reality it can revolutionise the way you work. An iPad for business is such a great idea because it has all the essential applications you will need such as access to your email and calendar in just a simple press on the screen, plus you have access to the internet too. It doesn’t even matter what your business does or what industry you are in, companies have been using Apple for business for decades and the iPad is just the latest innovative Apple invention which can transform the way you work.
For obvious reasons, we love the iPad for when we’re on the move because it is so small and light. However, even in the office it can make your working day so much easier. Have all your email accounts synced to one place and set your iPad up on your desk so that you can see and hear instantly when email arrives. Step outside the office and your email can come with you too! Likewise for your calendar – you’ll never miss another appointment again.
It is always recommended to use Apple for schools and businesses because of their unbeatable software packages which come as standard. The iPad is no exception here. It can be easily attached to a projection screen or HDTV and allow you to deliver quality presentations, because whatever is on your iPad screen can then be displayed on a larger screen.

More than just a toy the ipad for education
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011The ipad has burst onto the computing scene this year, becoming the must-have Christmas gift for teens and adults alike and winning countless awards for its versatility, sleek design features and impressive processing power. While this has of course prompted competitors in the industry to create their own tablet devices, at the time of writing Apple remains the undisputed centre of leisure computing in Britain. The ipad, famed for its portability, slick user-friendly interface and dazzling array of features and applications, is often hailed as a kind of high-end toy, an expensive gadget for casual gaming and personal administration.
However, the ipad has its serious side, and here at Albion we’re anxious to show the world that there is a growing need for the poweful, portable ipad for education and higher education. Like other firms offering apple consultancy for business and education, we recommend apple for schools because it is renowned for being secure, reliable and easy to use.
However, the ipad has so much more to offer than the average laptop, netbook or desktop computer. Not only can it marshall an incredible quantity of files easily, including complex study software, documents and spreadsheets, it also has access to apps which can turn it into almost anything. Music students might use it to record, play back and produce music, while others might manage their timetable, record lectures, or download novels, textbooks and study guides in ebook format to read on the go. What could you do with it?
