Meet Mdm Shuhannah: A Modern-Day Classroom Wizard
When the pandemic slammed the doors shut, our trusty Primary 4 Science teacher from Madrasah Alsagoff, Mdm Shuhannah, had to brainstorm a way to keep her students engaged without any face‑to‑face talk. She turned to her favorite Apple gadgets and turned the ordinary into extraordinary.
Apple’s Toolkit: From Notes to Narratives
Here’s how Mdm Shuhannah mounted her digital ramp‑up:
- Apple Books: An easy‑to‑loop library for lesson notes, where she annotates and shares updates.
- Classroom: A live‑tracking hub that let her peek at each student’s progress in real time.
- Pages: A creative space that inspires learners to turn their stories into polished digital books.
This golden trio is already baked into Apple devices, and the brand even offers the Apple Teacher program— a self‑paced route to help educators sprinkle creativity across every subject.
Turning Your iPad into an Imagination Studio
With the latest iPad features, educators can’t just throw content together. They can:
- Create motion graphics and animated GIFs with Keynote
- Record podcasts in GarageBand
- And snag visual flair directly from the Photos app.
Apple’s Education Learning Series stands ready to guide teachers— especially those who already know Apple hardware— on how to apply this tech to truly elevate student learning.
Mdm Shuhannah’s Eureka Moment
“These programs opened a door for me to master new features and swap ideas with fellow teachers,” she says. “During the special sessions for Madrasah Alsagoff, we were gearing up, and the excitement was palpable.” He remembers the day after their initial hands‑on session with the Classroom app: “Half the team was hopping on it like a group of eager kids discovering a new playground!”
