The summer holidays are coming to an end - back to school is just around the corner

For teachers and principals in Switzerland, this means not only new classrooms, but also new opportunities: how can a successful start to digital teaching be achieved effectively, creatively and in compliance with data protection? And above all, what tools and support will really help?

Back to school: digital restart

As soon as summer is in full swing, they reappear everywhere: the many "Back2School" offers with trendy backpacks, trainers and felt-tip pens. In a way, that's all part of it now - a new school year feels like a fresh start. But teaching is something completely different.

The start of the new school year is the perfect time to rethink teaching - digitally, effectively and creatively. With an iPad in the classroom or a MacBook for teachers, possibilities are opening up that go far beyond traditional forms of teaching. Digital education is a path that always offers new facets.

Goodbye stress - hello support

Digital solutions make your day-to-day work faster than ever: lesson preparation with Mac and iPad, rapid communication with colleagues, structured planning and access to all documents - anytime, anywhere.

And the best part: you don't have to do it alone. The eduPackage is also a rucksack: a rucksack full of practical experience - by teachers for teachers. Filled with everything that matters in everyday digital school life:

  • Ready-to-use teaching units complying with LP21 / PER
  • Webinars, video tutorials and online consultation hours - flexible and at your own pace
  • Practical workshops with Apple Professional Learning Specialists (max. 15 participants)
  • Individual coaching for you or your team, including project coaching and support at parents' evenings
  • Collections of applications with ideas and tutorials
  • Events such as LearningDays to exchange ideas and provide new impulse

You'll get exactly the support you need - whether you want to get started straight away or want to expand your knowledge. The eduPackage team is made up of experienced teachers who speak the same language - even if we also hold the title of Apple Professional Learning Specialist.

Back2School for learners too: iPads with parental support

A subject that concerns more and more schools: BYOD - Bring Your Own Device. If schools can prove that pupils need their own equipment in class, parents benefit from attractive discounts. (School equipment paid for by parents) – even higher than previous Apple Education discounts.

Our advice: communicate this clearly and early enough to parents. If you need support -Don't hesitate to contact us. Particularly trendy topic: Windows 10 support is coming to an end - a good opportunity to make some changes.

Apple Intelligence: Your intelligent assistant for everyday school life

The introduction of Apple Intelligence marks the start of a new era in education. AI-based technology helps you complete routine tasks such as creating teaching materials, summarising notes or writing letters to parents in record time, directly on your Mac or iPad.

Apple Intelligence understands the context, identifies relationships and proactively supports you in planning, organising and communicating. So you have more time to focus on what's important: the teaching itself.

Secure devices, applications and collaboration

Data protection is essential in digital education. Apple devices offer built-in security features right from the start, protecting your data - without complicated settings.

Whether it's language, natural sciences or music, there are countless practical and interactive apps available. With tools like Freeform, Keynote or Pages, you can encourage collaboration within the teaching team and with your class. Tasks can be shared via Apple Schoolwork, results can be processed together and learning progress can be documented.

With Apple Classroom, you can keep an overview of digital teaching at all times. You can see what your students are working on, give feedback and focus on learning.

Because you're worth it

Day after day, you give your best to your students. So you deserve the best: the right tools and support to work professionally, efficiently and creatively.

Conclusion: digital schools start with the right decision

A successful start to the new school year isn't just about new notebooks and curricula - it's also about a digital infrastructure that works and support that keeps you on track. With an iPad or MacBook and the support of eduPackage, you're perfectly equipped.
