Become an Apple Teacher

At the beginning of September, Apple released a self-guided learning course designed just for teachers. All you need is an Apple ID and a few hours to Become an Apple Teacher. Educators can choose from either the Mac or iPad collection of badges. Each collections includes 8 badges to earn. The iPad collection offers badges in iPad basics, Pages, Keynote, iMovie, Numbers, GarageBand, iPad Productivity, and iPad Creativity. Teachers can choose how they navigate through the learning. Apple offers gorgeous interactive iBook tutorials for learners who need a really guided experience or a down and dirty "how to" for those who want a more streamlined learning experience. Or, if you're like me, you can just to dig into the app before taking a stab at earning the badge!
