iPad videos

We have a selection of videos to help Digital Champions get familiar with using the iPad. If you don't have an iPad at home or aren't familiar with them, these videos will help you with some of the basics.

You can also use Apple Teacher resources to familiarise yourself and your learners with some of the basic functions of the iPad e.g. using the control centre, Siri, Safari, and accessibility features.
