Schloss Torgelow is a performance-oriented boarding school with an educational concept that we have continuously developed over the years. We know that the future of education and career is digital. Therefore, it is important for us to prepare our students for the challenges of digital, lifelong learning even during their school years. We have already taken many steps on the path of digitalizing education. Our classrooms and specialist rooms are equipped exclusively with digital Cleartouch© displays and PCs. The school cloud IMS and video teaching during the coronavirus pandemic have already made digital learning at Schloss Torgelow a matter of course. ## iPad©-supported instruction With the introduction of iPad-supported teaching, we are further developing our students’ digital skills and taking advantage of the numerous benefits of digital instruction with the iPad. The iPad© in the classroom at Schloss Torgelow is not a toy for students, but a school work tool that, through the use of digital textbooks and educational apps, enables a new dimension of learning. Digital worksheets, learning tests, and digital recordings facilitate quick sharing and monitoring of work results. The clear organization of content in just one device has the advantage that materials for all subjects can be easily carried anywhere. ## Start in the 7th grade Since the beginning of the school year 2023/2024, all students from the seventh grade onwards work with the iPad©. Classes 5 and 6 are still taught traditionally. In these classes, writing skills are still to be consolidated. ## Free APPLE IPAD© The school has chosen the Apple iPad as the student device, which is provided **free of charge** by Schloss Torgelow. A paid upgrade to the iPad Air is available upon request. ## Training of the teaching team Our teachers have already deepened and expanded many digital competencies through digital teaching during video classes. They are regularly trained to use the iPad as a teaching tool. ## A step into the digital future of education Our educational team is convinced that the iPad© transition offers many new impulses for teaching. ## iPad as a managed device for school The iPad at Schloss Torgelow is solely an educational device, whose apps and access are centrally controlled by the school administration through the JAMF platform. Neither personal apps can be installed, nor can the iPad be used for non-educational activities outside predetermined time windows. Therefore, the iPad is not a multifunctional toy, but a working tool for school purposes. Personal apps cannot be installed. ![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ipad-unterricht-schule.avif) *iPad lessons at school* [Another 30 good reasons for Schloss Torgelow](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/30-good-reasons) [Register for the information day](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/consultation-information-days) ### Frequently Asked Questions about the Use of iPads in the Classroom ![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/anika-vlach-schloss-torgelow-2025-320x320.avif) Feel free to make up your own mind!

They promote independent work, creative project work, and provide quick access to digital learning content – ideal for preparing for studies and careers. Particularly advantageous for boarding school students is that all textbooks are stored as digital books on the iPad, making it easy for them to take them home on weekends or during holidays. No, Schloss Torgelow provides all students with their own iPad free of charge. The devices are fully operational and equipped with the necessary apps. No. The iPad at Schloss Torgelow is solely an educational device. All apps and access are centrally managed by the school administration via the JAMF platform. Personal apps cannot be installed – also, usage outside of designated time windows for non-educational purposes is not possible. The iPad is not a gaming device, but a clearly defined working tool for everyday school use. Our teachers are specifically trained in digital teaching. The iPad is not an end in itself; it is used purposefully – for example, for collaborative projects, research, or presentations, as well as a digital textbook. Yes, the iPads may also be used during free time – for example, for homework, research, or creative applications. The usage is pedagogically supervised and meaningfully structured. Younger students have time limits that further restrict access to the iPad and the internet. Our IT department provides quick and straightforward assistance. In case of technical issues, the device is immediately replaced if necessary, ensuring that the lessons can continue smoothly. A regular backup ensures that notes in Good Notes or saved data can be easily restored on the new device. Lost documents are a thing of the past. The foundation of every study is the environment and the framework conditions of the study. We also view the unrestricted use of students’ own iPads critically, as apps installed by students, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, or TikTok, offer a high potential for distraction. For this reason, the use of iPads in our setting is restricted by technical filters so that only educational apps can be installed.
