Audience

This workshop series is for educators who want a quick, immersive experience in learning

how to use Apple devices for learning and teaching.

 

Description

The Quick Start Series is a four-consecutive-day immersive learning experience at your

institution for up to 20 educators. The content covers all the basics of using iPad or Mac

and the related iLife and iWork apps. Participants learn how the built-in features of iOS

or OS X support learning and teaching and how iLife and iWork apps work together to

enhance student engagement and productivity.

 

It’s an ideal solution if you’re implementing Apple products for the first time and are

looking for a way to build a vanguard team. The advantage of a Quick Start Series is that

it shortens the time it takes for educators to begin learning and teaching with their new

technology. The four consecutive days enable an efficient and effective knowledge transfer between the topics.
