MANOR LAKES P-12 COLLEGE2014 1:1 iPAD PROGRAM: Middle Years Support Centre Student CORE APPLICATION LIST

MANOR LAKES P-12 COLLEGE

As we follow a self directed inquiry learning approach at Manor Lakes P-12 College, staff will offer guidance and advice to students in selecting applications that best suit the individual learning needs and learning styles of students.

The following applications have been selected as they have been deemed to have had a high impact on student learning and engagement in learning, especially with in our Support Centres.

Previously, our application lists have been quite large and over time we have found that with the release of new applications, original applications we had selected can become void. We are wanting students to not only have the Core selected applications found in this document but also the ability to facilitate their own application use through personal choice and teacher, peer and parental support.

From this, we have decided upon 40 Core Applications we require students to have access to on their devices. These have been selected by staff with student input and will certainly compliment the teaching and learning programs offered. Please Note: Applications that have an Asterix ‘*’, come FREE with iPad devices purchased after October 2013. These are Apple’s ‘iLife and iWork’ applications.

If you have any questions relating to these applications, please do not hesitate to contact me at the college on the details below.

Thank You,

Corrie Barclay eLearning Coordinator, Manor Lakes P-12 College.
