This certification may be achieved by completing a series of 8 'badges' either working on your Apple Computer (laptop or desktop) OR using an iPad. You may choose to complete both.
You will need a personal Apple ID to start this certification. This I.D. is for your personal reference and not something that you will ever be asked to share. Your Apple ID will most likely be a personal email address. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you have any difficulty creating an Apple ID.

| Plenty of resource materials are available in each of these categories as you work through the lessons, including Starter Guides and videos. They are intended to be easy to navigate and follow along. There is a short quiz to complete each badge. Earning this certification is also one of the criteria to be considered an Apple Distinguished School, which we will be working on. More on this will be coming later. When you have earned your certification, please send me a screenshot of your profile page for my records, similar to what you see to the upper right. You may also add the Apple Teacher moniker to your electronic signature with your email. Due to a recent change in licensing, the Apple Teacher image can no longer be used. To the right, see screenshots of how to navigate to those settings in your Gmail account. | From your Gmail, look for the 'gear' icon in the upper right part of you computer screen:  |
For those of you who taught here last school year, there are some similarities with the 'Tier 1' online Professional Development work you completed using Canvas. This is much shorter and is focused on using your Mac in instruction.
Again, this is self-paced and free. All of the help resources will still be available if you need a refresher at a later time. This link will get you started.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
