The newest Apple iPhone and iPad operating system, iOS 11, will be released soon! There are some wonderful new features ranging from functionality and productivity to security and safety. If you haven't heard about these updates yet, get a glimpse straight from Apple - Apple iOS 11. TeachThought has a nice overview of these features too - Apple Introduces New iOS 11 Changes For iPhone & iPad. This post, 11 iOS 11 Features for iPad Educatorsby Jonathan Wylie, Digital Learning Consultant, breaks down eleven features of iOS 11 in several short videos. He also provides a chart listing which devices will run iOS 11. So many of these new upgrades are going to be great for teachers and students. Which features are you most looking forward to using?
Have you run into any issues with the new iOS "breaking" apps that students and teachers use often? Our district (in NC) has been told to hold off on the updates.
We did remove several apps from our apps list because they had not been updated in quite awhile by the developer or they were 32bit and iOS requires 64bit.
We have run into the same problems. Unfortunately many of our paid apps no longer work and they were great creation-based ones. Hoping to find some alternatives
Thanks Sydney. This is a perfect overview. We are in the same boat with our apps, we are running older iPad 2's that can only be updated to 9 and now apps like Canvas, can no longer be used. I am going to try this suggestion: https://www.howtogeek.com/263568/how-to-install-older-versions-of-ios-apps-on-an-old-iphone-or-ipad/
