Apple in Education

Schools systems are increasing the amount of technology in classrooms every day, and one way this is happening is by including Apple devices.
  Students can read textbooks that come alive on their Apple device. This includes interactive diagrams as well as videos. Creating a more hands on learning environment than a textbook could ever be able to provide. Apple books appear much more interesting to the learner and keep them on task. Students can still highlight text as they would in a normal textbook and the Apple device is much lighter than carrying around several textbooks in their backpack.
  Apple also allows you to create your own textbooks. You can include pictures, Microsoft word documents, diagrams, backgrounds, tables, charts, animations and so much more. You can read more about this by clicking on the iBooks Author Website on the homepage of the website.
