Apple Education Community

The Apple Education Community is an online, professional learning hub designed for educators using Apple technology to create engaging student learning experiences. The community features two main spaces: the Learning Center, and the Forum, a secure, collaborative space for educators to connect and learn from one another.

The Learning Center offers skill-building tutorials, lesson ideas and inspiration from Apple. With resources available in 17 languages, educators can build strong foundational skills for using iPad and Mac, and deepen student learning using Pages, Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand and iMovie.

As educators learn, they can gain recognition through the Apple Teacher Programme and access even more learning resources.

The Forum gives educators the opportunity to connect peer-to-peer and to receive coaching and mentoring from Apple experts. Educators can ask questions, discuss relevant topics, and share stories and resources that impact learning and more.

Membership to the Community is free and available in 37 countries/regions, with learning materials available in 17 languages.
