"Apple Teacher is a FREE professional learning program designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. As an educator you can build skills on a Mac that directly apply to activities with your students, earn recognition for the new things you learn, and be rewarded for the great work you do every day."

Just the facts...
It's all online. You work through a series of badges. Each badge will walk you step-by-step to learn a new Apple application. After you work though each badge you take a SHORT quiz to see if you have gained mastery. You are allowed to take the quiz as many times as needed. No stress. No worries. AND you earn 1.0 DLC Credit for completing the Certification. It's VERY good if you still struggle with some of the Mac applications or you are NEW to the Macintosh world. I completed it and still learned a few new tricks and reinforced some of the applications that I rarely use. It's very organized and a fabulous resource! |
