Apple Teacher Program for iPads
The Apple Teacher program is an excellent resource for educators. I have ten years experience as a para in the classroom. The last decade had been witness to leaps and bounds in classroom technology. From small computer labs with Oregon Trail and TV1 in the 1980s when I was a student to one to one MacBooks for students that only submit assignments online today, classroom tech is fluid.
As future teachers, we must be in the know. What are kids using? How can I make that part of our planning in a meaningful way to create exciting and relevant learning experiences for students? How can we prepare students for college and a workforce that expects proficient, competitive candidates? These are the questions that inspire me to work hard in this class to become a better educator and mentor.
I’ve used Apple products in classrooms before. Some of this is review, but by and large a new world of possibilities is opening before me. Instead of using what is part of our district’s current program, I’m learning how to create and design my own projects. This is exciting! I came to KSU to train. I’m a coach; I know training. “Practice how you perform” is how I live. Full out, all in, whatever you want to call it, I want to be where I’m developing my craft. Teaching is a passion and a calling. Apple teacher program is a drill that will hone my craft. Check it out at http://appleteacher.apple.com/.
