Accredited Courses
Apple, Microsoft, Google and many other technology companies have accredited courses for educators. Many of these are self paced and can be undertaken at a time and place which suit you. There is also a wide range of resources and support available directly from these organisations through their dedicated education programs.
The Apple Education Community is the online home for educators using Apple technologies in the classroom. The Learning Center has everything teachers need to build a strong foundation for using iPad and Apple core apps such as Pages, Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand and iMovie in the classroom. The Forum is a place to connect with other educators, share ideas and get inspiration. You can become an accredited Apple Teacher. And for those with Apple Teacher recognition there is now the Apple Teacher Portfolio for extended professional learning.
