We’re excited to announce Build Confidence with Apple Teacher for Mac series—designed to help you make the most of your Apple products for teaching and learning. Join colleagues and local Apple team members to go through the steps to sign up for Apple Teacher, explore new program resources, and work to earn badges to become a recognized Apple Teacher.
In these sessions, you’ll build foundational skills on Mac that directly apply to activities with your students. Learning more about how to use a variety of Apple apps will also help you become more effective and efficient with research, planning, communication, and other multitasking skills that have become so important in teachers’ lives.
You’ll leave each session with new skills and ideas, implementation resources, and a connection to a community of peers who share a common purpose. Follow @AppleEdu, #AppleTeacher, and #EveryoneCanCreate on Twitter for more tips and inspiration from champions of creativity around the world.
That's it for now!
Enjoy the Tuesday Tech Tips!
