Apple has introduced a collection of free "Everyone Can Create" resources to help teachers engage students with interactive lesson ideas. The new "Creative Activities" are designed to strengthen essential skills and use templates and shareable links to get students creating quickly, the company explained in a news announcement.

The activities are available for two age groups: Creative Activities for Early Learners (ages 4 to 8) and Creative Activities for Students (ages 8 and up). New resources include:

Drawing: Reveal a Constellation, using drawing tools in Keynote to design a night sky;
Photo: Create a Sticker Collage, using the Camera and Photos apps to decorate images with custom photo stickers;
Video: See More in Slo-Mo, to record a video in slow motion and view movement from another perspective; and
Music: Lay Down a Beat, using the Beat Sequencer in GarageBand to create repeating drum patterns.

The new Creative Activities can be accessed via the Apple Education Community professional learning hub.

"We're inspired by the incredible work coming out of classrooms and communities across the globe, and the myriad of ways Apple products like Mac and iPad empower learners to create and build on their passions," said Susan Prescott, vice president of Education and Enterprise Marketing at Apple, in a statement. "Our new Creative Activities for early learners and students make learning easy and fun, and most importantly, give educators quick tools to engage learners of all ages."
