Apple creates iPad-based at-home learning program for kids enduring COVID-19 lockdowns

AppleInsider:

Aptly dubbed “30 Creative Activities for Kids,” the program is designed to foster and support at-home learning for children ages 4 through 8 years old, or pre-kindergarten to second grade.

Apple relies on iPad’s — or iPhone’s — built-in technologies to guide kids through a series of challenges like capturing a time-lapse video, creating a comic strip, making cards and more. Along with projects that yield tangible results are esoteric thinking puzzles, like writing sentences and phrases using emoji characters.

Many activities tap into iPad’s camera and first-party apps. For example, Apple suggests making a simple storybook by adding photos and video to a template in Pages, writing captions and decorating each page with drawings.

If you have young children and are having trouble keeping them occupied, this might help.
