becoming an apple teacher
The Apple Teacher program allows educators to earn badges as they learn about the different Apple tools and how they can be used in the classroom. After a teacher has earned all badges, they become a certified Apple Teacher.
I earned two badges for the iPad. Each badge comes with an iBook that teaches you the content of that badge. These iBooks are interactive, and they give you classroom scenarios to read through. The examples and ideas for the classroom are the difference between learning about the software and learning through Apple Teacher. Just through the two badges I earned I feel like I understand the Apple tools better and have ideas about to integrate them into my future classroom. I do think it would be beneficial to have Apple Teachers turn in projects using Apple tools to practice what they have learned. The quizzes show that the person read the iBook, but it would be best for them to apply that knowledge to a real project.
I probably will continue to earn badges, and maybe become an Apple Teacher. I think that the knowledge gained from the course will be important for my future classroom.
