The Renfrewshire Apple Regional Training Centre are hosting sessions to support people to gain their Apple Teacher status.
From Apple: Apple Teacher is a free professional learning programme designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. More info here….
There are six badges to be gained before Apple Teacher status is awarded: iPad Basics, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie and GarageBand. The aim is for you to become aware of the different features of each of these areas of iPad before a short quiz checks your understanding. Once the quiz is passed you gain a badge, all six badges = Apple Teacher. It is a great bit of CPD and really helps you get to grips with those apps on the iPad you may not have delved into too deeply.
The RTC are offering online sessions on each of these areas to guide you through the different things required to gain the badge. See details below.
