IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to show the user interface (the onscreen buttons and controls) of the apps on a projector or other large display, a special setup is required. Use the Resources section below to “Use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch connected to your Mac” so all the iPad controls can be seen on a projector or other large display.

SLIDE 2: Overview

Presenter: Welcome! In this 15-20 minute presentation, we will engage in several hands-on demonstrations of new features available on the iPad Generation 9 that you can begin using in your classroom immediately. We will focus on features including the Front Camera, Live Text, and Visual Look Up. We will also review some previous features and talk about some professional learning options.

SLIDE 3: General Features

These features compare the iPad 6 to the iPad 9.

Presenter: The storage on the iPad 9 has doubled and the chip is faster. Also, the iPad now offers machine learning capabilities. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses data and algorithms to imitate the way people learn.

SLIDE 4: [screen size comparison]

This slide shows the additional screen real estate (in blue) on the iPad 9 touchscreen compared to the iPad 6 touchscreen.

SLIDE 5: Front Camera

Presenter: The new front camera is greatly enhanced from the iPad 6 camera. A new feature added to the Camera is called Center Stage.

SLIDE 6: [screen capture from Zoom]

Demo: Open Zoom, start a new meeting, watch Center Stage follow you. Ask one or more audience members to enter the video frame and watch Center Stage smoothly pan to include the new person(s).

SLIDE 7: Live Text

Presenter: Live Text is a machine learning feature that allows the iPad to interpret images of text captured by the Camera and then adds various features to interact with the text. We will capture a photo of text and try features including Speak, Translate, and Copy/Paste. But first, we need to turn on a feature in the Settings app with just 3 steps.
