5 tips to create engaging Pages templates

Welcome to the first post in the second series of videos supporting educators to ‘Get the most out of your MacBook’. The first series focused on Productivity, whereas this series focus’ on creating content.

In this series, we'll dive into creating engaging content for your students using the iWork Apps on your Mac—Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. These are fantastic tools to foster critical thinking and to empower your students.

Each post includes a downloadable classroom resource and a step-by-step video with five useful tips.

  • Customising your own shapes.
  • Creating content placeholders.

Thanks for sharing Trudi! I was at the Apple Training Day in the holidays and really enjoyed your perspective on Te Ao Māori. This will be such a great resource to go alongside some digital learning I am doing with our Year 5-8 ākonga about the whakataukī, "Ko au te whenua, Te whenua te au" for EOTC and Camp.
