High School Learning with Apple: The Book

Jennifer Orton (@jorton) and I met at ADE institute in 2023 and have been working on compiling lessons for high school teachers using MacBooks or iPads in class. Jennifer uses iPads, and I use MacBooks, and in our collaboration, we realized that small adjustments can be made to apply the lessons in each environment. In the end, we organized all of our lessons to ensure we had represented a variety of tools and represented each department within a high school. All of these lessons were included in a book we have published to Apple Books. You can find that book linked below.

In addition, we made daily posts here in the Teaching & Learning section of the forum to share a lesson. You can find the individual links to each of those posts below.
