Embracing Creativity and the Olympics with the Pages Journal for iPad

Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to share something exciting with you today that combines two of my passions: fostering creativity, and celebrating the spirit of the Olympics. Introducing the Olympic Pages Journal for iPad, a full editable and engaging set of resources designed to bring out the creativity in students while immersing them in the excitement of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

 

Unleashing Creativity with Key iPad Apps

One of the most powerful aspects of the Pages Journal is its integration with a core of iPad apps that are perfect for unlocking students' creative potential. Apps like Keynote, Clips, and AR Makr provide a wide range of opportunities for students to express themselves in unique and imaginative ways.

Cross-Curricular Integration

What excites me most about the Pages Journal is its ability to weave creativity into various subject areas as well as some key Digital Literacy Skills. For example, in a math class, students can use the journal to track and analyse Olympic statistics, creating graphs and charts to represent data. In a geography/literacy lesson, they can explore the host city of Paris or competing countries, learning about different cultures and locations around the world using maps. The journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary learning, making each lesson more engaging and meaningful.

Download, Modify, and Use

The best part about the Pages Journal is its flexibility. You can download it directly to your iPad, modify it to suit your specific classroom needs, and start using it right away. Whether you're teaching primary students or older kids, the journal can be adapted to fit any age group and learning style.

 

I invite you to download the Pages Journal for iPad and explore the endless possibilities it offers. Let's embrace creativity, celebrate the Olympic spirit, and make learning an exciting adventure for our students. I really could've added so many more examples but I had to stop somewhere.

This is really useful. Makes me wish I was teaching right now so we could use it. However, I do have a class who absolutely love the olympics (a few olympians amongst them) and they will have great fun when we are back.

I know right! I had this same thought when putting this together. I hope lots of teacher and kids are having fun with it.

Hi Coby

Huge effort went into creating this so thank you for sharing. Clearly you are a big a fan of the Olympics as I am!

There are lots of opportunity for creativity and learning here that I would love to share with students. You've integrated many platforms for students to explore. How did you create the 'notes' style instructions?

Love your work!

@marymcevb You can just add a comment in any of the iWork suite and it stays there, even if you share it :)

Love this! Thanks Coby - beautifully designed. I’ll add social studies to your Cross-Curricular ideas. The Library of Congress has a wonderful Flickr site with downloadable images from Olympics past. These can easily be added to Pages and learners can look up stats or bios on the Olympians of the past and compare and contrast.
