Apple's Everyone Can Create series a phenomenal resource that I have utilized in the past. If your school is 1:1 with iPads, you have to check these out! The only thing you need is your Apple ID. The books lead you through a series of lessons/activities where you create a creative project and also learn tips and tricks (or a basic how-to) of the different Apple Create Apps.

We believe in fearless experimentation. It is only by trying things out, challenging our assumptions, and analyzing the results that we can adapt and thrive in a changing world."
