iPads at ICE

At our New York campus, ICE chef-instructors share lesson plans and materials on their iPads via high definition monitors installed in each kitchen. In addition to pre-loaded content, the iPad facilitates access to additional online content, including reference videos and other resources.

As for the reference texts provided on the iPads, most are interactive, including high quality video of culinary techniques. This enables students to review or see supplemental versions of the skills taught in class. And as each iPad has a built-in camera, it is also possible for a student to film specific aspects of their daily lessons to enhance the learning process and retain for future use.

“It’s interesting how much the ‘hands-on’ nature of culinary education can be paralleled by the interactive nature of the iPad … Cooking is clearly a process of multi-tasking and the iPad is well-suited for multi-faceted information gathering and learning,” says Andrea Tutunjian, Director & Dean of Education

T2 Computing (formally known as TekServe), New York’s leading Apple technology consultants and a key partner in ICE’s iPad initiative, was proud to help make our iPad-based curriculum one of the smartest advancements in culinary education. They have continued to be a resource for student questions and opportunities to continue improving our students’ learning experience, providing setup, training and support for students and faculty to maximize their iPad-based learning.

Always listening to the needs of students and demands of the industry, ICE is committed to leading innovation and improving the student experience. Bringing technology into the culinary classroom gives ICE a competitive advantage and establishes a platform for future content sharing, development of new learning applications and tools to help students become modern culinary professionals.
