Apple Teacher Introduction and Welcome
Thursday 13th September 2018 at 4:00pm till 5:30pm
Come along to our Twilight Teach Meet session.
We will be joining Apple Teacher, a new professional learning program designed to support teachers using Apple products in teaching and learning. In this session, as an educator you’ll be building your own skills on iPad that directly apply to activities with your pupils.
We’ll be using Apple Teacher Starter Guides that teach you from the basics right up to advanced. These interactive guides give you multiple ways to learn and include all the materials and instructions you need to build projects in iMovie, GarageBand, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. They also teach you how to use some of the apps together to be more creative and productive with lessons and student activities to make most of class learning.
This will be an interactive experience using iPads with curated resources, learning collections, tips, lesson ideas, and inspiration from other teachers.
We’ll also be using the free Apple Classroom which assists you to guide students through a lesson, see their progress and keep them on track.
