You may have heard. Apple has a new education-focused iPad. It may look just like other 9.7-inch iPads. But it’s not. This hot new teaching tool promises to boost the already hefty benefits of using iPads in the classroom. For one thing, it’s less expensive. But don’t be deceived. This classroom iPad packs added education-minded benefits with its lower price tag. Like Apple Pencil support and an updated suite of education apps. An HD FaceTime camera and 10 hours of battery life. An 8-megapixel rear camera. And Apple’s A10 Fusion chip – perfect for supporting powerful augmented reality apps. New software boosts teachers’ classroom management and creative instruction abilities. The education spotlight is shining on the iPad. Making this an ideal time to take a look at the top benefits of using iPads in the classroom.

In today’s K-12 classrooms, technology is a central part of learning. Laptops, Chromebooks, and iPads have transformed the educational landscape, enabling students to access information, collaborate on projects, and develop critical digital skills. However, without adequate protection, these devices are prone to breakage, especially in the bustling environment of a school. Enter the work-in computer case—a simple yet highly effective solution that offers both convenience and protection for students and educators alike. What is a Work-In Computer Case? A work-in case is designed to allow students to use their laptops or Chromebooks without ever removing the device from its protective shell, while also providing a handy carrying case. Users can see their entire screen and have easy access to their keyboard. Beyond these basic characteristics, well-designed work-in-cases, like those from MAXCases, will also allow for easy access to the device ports. MAXCases work-in ... [Learn More]

By Cynthia Kater, MAXCases Marketing Manager Ever wondered about how laptop cases are categorized? In the abstract, it doesn’t make for great dinner conversation. The distinctions take on a new light, however, when faced with determining the best choice for your organization or classroom. Back in the day, briefcase-like bags were the most widely-available option. Today, device-specific custom-fit cases and universal work-in cases are the most popular choices. We invite you to read on and learn about which of these distinctly-different protective solutions may be the best fit for your organization. (We even include a handy VEN diagram.) Bags and Sleeves The defining characteristic of traditional bags and sleeves is that the users must take the device out of the bag to use it. Designed to meet a wide range of needs, from ultra-slim sleeves to fully-loaded Esports backpacks, they’re great for careful users, and not recommended for younger students. By contrast, b...

Education technology (aka “edtech”) can be hard to keep up with. Rapid change and new options are a constant challenge. Today’s gold standard is 1:1 computing. Providing one device to each student, one-to-one computing has been shown to increase student engagement. Boost collaboration, creativity, and test scores. Plus, using personal tech devices for learning prepares students to participate in a tech-dominated world.  All of which begs the question: which 1:1 device is best?  Which best meets the needs of student, teachers and school districts? An iPad or Chromebook? Rivalry recap: Chromebook vs. iPad iPads were introduced into the classroom in 2010. They quickly set the standard for classroom learning with a digital device. Across the US, classroom iPads became commonplace. By 2013 the iPad had captured  94% of the education device market. Introduced in 2011, Chromebooks offered a low-cost alternative to Windows laptops, MacBooks and iPads.... [Learn More]

One-to-one device initiatives are rife with challenges. From selecting, sourcing and securing devices to providing ongoing PD and support for instructors. Educating families and students on the appropriate use and care of devices is no small part of the task. To limit liability, districts often turn to legal counsel to assist in developing comprehensive expectations. This is where things can get sticky. While important, relying solely on dense legal documents to guide families and students can end up impeding compliance, as key concepts get lost in the legalese. Want to maximize the impact of your Chromebook or other device care communications? Think beyond the legal aspects of your message. 1. Determine key message points. What are the messages you really want to hit home? Chances are they fall under some common umbrellas: Using your device. Repair and replacement responsibilities. Digital Citizenship. And, of course, caring for your device. To reach more families ... [Learn More]

By teacher guest blogger Kathryn Rose As school districts face down another year of education under the cloud of a pandemic, teachers are encountering a new set of students whose parents are increasingly more involved with their children’s day-to-day academics. In a lot of ways, involved parents are an asset to the classroom, even when precipitated by chaotic or stressful events. Involved parents support teachers and their vision for a year filled with extended learning experiences. Involved parents help their own students succeed throughout the ups and downs of a normal school year. But how are parents going to handle the inevitable increase in technology that will appear this year if kids are once again asked to move into remote or blended learning? The relationship between tech devices and daily instruction solidified over the past two years. Students and schools were desperate to get their hands on anything that would keep classrooms connected and learning.... [Learn More]

Today’s educators know the importance of ensuring that their students have working devices throughout the school year. Not only is the vast majority of student work dependent on computing devices, but communication, assignments, and grading are often now done electronically as well. A broken device can significantly hamper student learning (and teacher efficiency). Fortunately, there are several steps that schools can take to help extend the life of devices to make sure students have the tools they need to be successful. Budgetary Issues Underline Importance of Device Care Obviously, extending the life of student devices helps schools stay within their technology budgets. However, this factor is even more important right now as the final round of the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds is set to expire soon. Since these funds often make up a significant part of current education dollars, schools may be struggling with budgets when thes... [Learn More]

Is there something you’re working on with your students that could benefit from creative ideas? If so, that’s an excellent opportunity to run a brainstorming session. Brainstorming is a wonderful tool for thinking divergently and coming up with creative solutions to various problems. Introducing your students to it can give them a valuable skill that they’ll use long after they have left the school system. PConveniently, it takes just 15-20 minutes to teach and execute, and it works even better when done online (handy for these quarantine times). If that sounds like something worth trying, read on and we’ll walk you through the steps to effectively implement brainstorming, whether your students are in the classroom or learning remotely from home. Before You Begin The only materials you’ll need is a Google Sheet that all your students can access on their Chromebooks or iPads. The best time to share it, to avoid distraction, is at the end of step 2. Step 1:... [Learn More]

Over the last decade, iPads have continued to make their way into classrooms, opening up a whole new way to teach and interact with students. As early as 2017, 90 percent of schools were already reporting using iPads in the classroom. And while Chromebooks have eaten away at this dominance, iPads still make up a substantial portion of 1:1 classroom tech, particularly with younger learners and in specialty subjects. While some concerns have been raised about the amount of time students spend with screens, iPads have brought many advantages to modern-day learning. Here are some of the top reasons why iPads are great devices for schools. iPads Facilitate Customized Learning Ah, differentiation. So important, so challenging. As a teacher you know that one of your biggest challenges throughout the day is to keep advanced students engaged while providing extra assistance to those who need help. iPads can help step in as a teacher’s assistant by delivering content that p...

A comfortable and communicative learning environment is imperative to a student’s growth and success. There are a variety of apps available for your Chromebook that create such an environment, and encourage students to participate, ask questions, and hold discussions openly. Google Classroom Google Classroom is a great choice for teachers who utilize Chromebooks in the classroom. It allows teachers share content while also posting and collecting assignments. Shy students who may dislike speaking up in class especially benefit from this, as they are able to share ideas with both teachers and students online. ChalkUp ChalkUp helps instructors have productive class discussions, get students organized, simplify grading and feedback, and share course materials. It is a closed, online forum that works with Google Apps for Education, and it allows students to participate in discussions or post feedback on each other’s comments. iTunes U Great for increasing p...

What’s the best way to teach? That’s a question that educators have grappled over for as long as formal education has been around. Over the last decade, there has been a shift from linear teaching methods to more interactive ones, greatly supported by the development of a vast number of technology tools. According to Research.com, interactive and technology-based learning has proven to be effective. The site noted that “a study involving 105 preschoolers showed that children exposed to the gesture-interactive game-based learning approach had superior learning performance and motor skills” and that “the use of interactive learning techniques in eighth-grade and fourth-grade students yielded positive results.” The site pointed out that “with constant technological innovations, digital learning technologies have also made their way to classrooms and other learning spaces. They now augment lessons or become the tool for the educator to deliver their lessons.�... [Learn More]

As we prepare students for the complexities of the modern world, promoting collaboration and interdisciplinary learning becomes essential. These approaches mirror real-world team dynamics, where technology, design, data, and communication intersect. Implementing them in classrooms can transform how students engage, innovate, and learn. Here are a few ways to help your students receive an education rich with collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning. 1. Collaborate with Colleagues to Define Clear, Shared Goals Projects flourish when objectives are well-defined. Before launching a unit, teachers should consider co–planning with colleagues across different subjects—science, math, ELA, art, social studies, even music. For instance, a project on urban sustainability could ask students to: • Science: Analyze local water usage data • Math: Calculate resource consumption ratios • ELA: Summarize findings in written reports • Technology: Sketch susta...

Field trips offer students exciting, hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom walls. Whether exploring a science museum, visiting a historical landmark, or conducting field research, these trips bring education to life. However, with the increased use of mobile devices in schools — such as tablets, Chromebooks, and laptops — keeping technology safe during these excursions has become a top priority for educators. From accidental drops to potential theft, field trips pose several risks to school-issued devices. A well-thought-out strategy can help ensure that your school’s tech investment stays secure, functional, and ready for learning. Here are some safety tips to help protect mobile devices on field trips. 1. Assign Responsibility and Set Expectations Before heading out, assign each student a specific device and reinforce the importance of responsibility. Create clear guidelines on how devices should be used and stored throughout the trip.... [Learn More]

It's time to consider some practical back-to-school matters. Well, more accurately, back-to-learning, as we enter uncharted territory this school year, with many districts going completely virtual and plenty of others prepared to do the same should there be a COVID-19 outbreak in their area. Childcare concerns aside (which we realize is no small matter for many parents), one of the first challenges you might come across is arranging your home to positively facilitate learning. This location should be both practical and enjoyable and free from too many distractions. The goal is to create a comfortable space that accommodates and supports focus on the tasks at hand. Bear in mind that you are entirely in charge of creating your perfect home classroom. The options are limited only by your particular home space and budget. The location you choose may vary based on each child’s age. While teens may prefer a private space with a door that closes behind them, such as a guest... [Learn More]

Integrating technology into the classroom has revolutionized the educational landscape, fostering interactive and engaging learning environments. To maximize the benefits of this integration, equipping classrooms with the right accessories is crucial. These ten essential accessories can make classroom technology integration easier and more productive for your education space.  1. Protective Device Cases Durability is critical when students regularly handle devices such as tablets, laptops, and Chromebooks. Protective cases safeguard these valuable tools from everyday wear and tear, accidental drops, and rough handling. MAXCases provides rugged, custom-designed cases specifically for educational environments. For example, the Extreme Shell® -F Slide-On line offers military-grade drop protection, helping extend the lifespan of devices and significantly reducing repair costs. 2.

No question about it. Literacy is critical to student success, during school and beyond. But what about digital literacy? Why is digital literacy important? And what is the role of digital literacy in K-12 classrooms? Is it something educators should be teaching? If so, at what ages and how?  Questions about digital literacy are common among educators. For many, the answer is clear. In the 21st century, digital literacy is as important as traditional literacy.  We want our kids to be digitally literate to maximize their effective use of digital tools. Like iPads, Smartphones and Chromebooks. We want them to be digitally literate so they stay safe. We want them to be digitally literate citizens that contribute positively to the online landscape.  Our world is increasingly digital. The wide range of skills required for digital literacy are necessary to succeed. As necessary as reading and writing. Students who lack digital literacy skills are likely to face signif...

As fully evolved human beings, we like to believe we have learned to plan and adapt to changing situations. But what do we do when we’re hit with something really unexpected, like a life-changing pandemic? What do we do when virtually all of our plans must be put aside and many of us are confined to our homes? We rise to the challenge and continue to adapt. Despite the incredible uncertainties resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, over the past months we’ve seen countless inspiring examples of people across the world adjusting their lives with courage and compassion as needed for their particular circumstances. It hasn’t been easy, but the human spirit prevails. One key: knowing when to push ahead and when to give yourself a break. Parents of school-age children face unique challenges.

Timed with the advent of a new academic school year, the Apple iOS 18 is set to release this fall, offering features that may completely change the way teachers and students manage math lessons. Beyond offering new calculator features, the Apple iOS 18 is also designed to solve math problems in a specific student’s handwriting. According to EdTrust, 40 percent of all students were deemed to score below basic 8th grade math on a national assessment test in 2022. The rapid acceleration of technological tools that can impact learning have already and will continue to revolutionize the way K12 students learn both inside and outside the classroom. Math Notes Capabilities Although Apple’s latest operating system upgrade promises many new features, the one making the most significant impact in the classroom will be Math Notes. Students will now be able to either type or physically write out math problems and use artificial intelligence to solve them. The tool then mimics... [Learn More]

Google has recently lengthened its Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date to 10 years for the Chromebooks that educators and students rely on daily in many school districts around the country. Previously, Google stopped supporting Chrome devices with software updates after a period of four to five years. Using unsupported devices can lead to security issues as well as rapidly declining performance, forcing school districts to purchase new devices regularly. This change is good news for school districts that can now delay purchasing Chromebooks for up to a decade (provided they keep them in good physical condition), resulting in a potential savings of $1.8 billion across the country, according to an April report released by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund. Starting in 2024, all Chromebooks released after 2021 will automatically receive this 10-year security update guarantee. Decision Positively Impacts the Environment During the global pandemic ...

Education has changed dramatically in the last twenty years. From early childhood education to high school and beyond, we have technology to thank for remarkable advances in teaching and learning.  Tablets, laptops and smartphones have become valuable teaching tools. With so many options, however, parents, teachers and school districts often wonder which is the best for their students. Choosing wisely is the key to maximizing learning opportunities. For the youngest students, using iPads in the classroom paired with educational iPad apps are a sure-fire choice. iPads for Preschoolers to 2nd Grade: the Right Device for the Right Age/strong> Most school districts want to provide one computing device for every student.
