Apple Distinguished Education 2022 Reflection

I recently completed my annual reflection as an Apple Distinguished Educator. I had many opportunities in 2022 to learn, grow, connect, share, and advocate for ways to use iPads, app, digital resources, and a variety of technology to engage students, help staff to be more digitally agile and able to use devices and apps to transform teaching and learning in the classroom. 


The most difficult challenge... Summarizing it all in just 60 seconds!

ADE Festival Of Learning 2021 Playground - Code Session On App Design

 I am honored to be part of the Apple Distinguished Educator Creativity Playground during the upcoming ADE Festival of Learning next week.



I will be collaborating with other ADEs from around the world to show how to design a Hotel Home app prototype by using the Keynote app on an iPad to create a working model of a travel app.


Register here to join this free event.



App prototyping is the process of creating a working model of an app. Before spending a lot of time writing the code for an app, you can create a prototype to help you map out the interactivity and features of the app. Essentially creating models of each screen, the features of the app, and demonstrating what happens when you push a button. 

Session Description
Bring your app ideas to life using Keynote in an activity designed for aspiring app creators. In this session, you’ll sketch an app interface and incorporate screenshots, draw shapes and link elements to show how your app functions.





Resources:
Apple K-12 Education Teaching Code - Curriculum and resources for teaching code.
Apple Teacher Learning Center - Learn about iPads, apps, Mac computers, applications, and integration ideas. Get started earning your Apple Teacher badges.
App Design Journal - Keynote file students can use to guide them through the app design and app prototyping process.
Keynote - Apple presentation app for iPads and Apple computers. Awesome for creating presentations, drawing, animation, video, and layout and design.

Getting Started With iPad

 Did you just get a new iPad for yourself or receive on to use for work or have one sent home from school for your child to use to complete distance learning school work? Not quite sure how to get started with the iPad, navigate between screens, or use key apps?

I created these videos to help teachers, students, support staff, and families who are new to using an iPad learn about some of the key iPad features.

You can check out the Getting Started With iPad Playlist or watch individual videos below.
