Hello friends! 🌸

For my third Explore Activity in the Apple Teacher Portfolio, I explored a creative way to bring back something classic—postcards—but with a digital twist! ✨

The lesson goal was simple: learners had to create a postcard inviting a friend to visit their hometown 🏡🌊. But instead of buying or drawing one on paper, we used Keynote on iPad to design a digital version. This opened up so many fun possibilities!

Learners demonstrated their learning by:

🎥 Recording short videos or adding voice messages to their postcards

📝 Writing simple, meaningful text to invite a friend

📸 Experimenting with the iPad camera features to capture hometown images

💡 Realising that postcards can still be a medium of communication, even in digital form

What made this experience special was how technology gave postcards a fresh new life. 🌍 Instead of seeing them as “old-fashioned,” learners discovered that a postcard could also include video, sound, and interactive design. This made the task more exciting and personal, as they could combine words, images, and their own voices.

Technology also helped them connect more deeply with the purpose of a postcard: sharing a message from one place to another. The postcard became not just a writing exercise, but a fun way to communicate and invite friends using modern tools. 💻💬

It was heartwarming to see their creativity shine as they experimented with features, played with layouts, and proudly shared their postcards. 🌟 This activity reminded me that learning doesn’t just happen through text—it can happen through visuals, sounds, and experiences too.

Onward to the next Apple adventure 🍎,
