GarageBand as a Cross-Curricular and Literacy Development Tool
2nd July 2026 || RGS The Grange
Join us for a special event.
We are thrilled to invite you to our “Get Creative with iPad” workshop, in collaboration with RGS RTC.
Discover how iPad and GarageBand can be used to transform learning across the curriculum. Led by Apple Professional Learning Specialist, David Kirtlan, this hands-on workshop will explore GarageBand as a tool for podcasting and storytelling, raising literacy and oracy, as well as expanding media production and creative communication skills.
Join us to connect with fellow educators and gain valuable insights from experience experts on how you can support your students to create, collaborate and express ideas in powerful new ways.
This workshop is open to all primary educators – no prior experience with GarageBand or music is required.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Agenda
Centred on the use of GarageBand beyond traditional music teaching, the session will examine its application in supporting:
Oracy and spoken language development through podcasting and narration
Creative writing and storytelling, enhancing literacy through sound design
Cross-curricular delivery, spanning English, humanities, and project-based learning
Inclusive learner engagement through multimodal expression
Participants will engage with replicable lesson frameworks and practical workflows, supporting immediate classroom implementation.
