Every child is born full of creativity. Nurturing it is one of the most important things educators do. Creativity makes your students better communicators and problem solvers. It prepares them to thrive in today’s world — and to shape tomorrow’s. For 40 years, Apple has helped teachers unleash the creative potential in every student. And today, we do that in more ways than ever. Not only with powerful products, but also with tools, inspiration, and curricula to help you create magical learning experiences.

Products for Learning
Technology designed to be as limitless as a child’s imagination.
Apple products put complete freedom of expression in the hands of every student who uses them. iPad is simple enough for anyone to master right from the start, and flexible enough to let students go wherever their ideas take them. Mac provides the power to pursue even the most ambitious projects. And with a full suite of Apple-designed apps made for creation, both iPad and Mac give students a canvas as limitless as their imaginations.
Tools for Teaching
Apps that help you put the power of technology to work. In and out of class.
We’ve developed tools to make it easy for you to guide how your students use devices and apps in the classroom, and to provide valuable insight into each student’s progress. So you can focus on what’s most important: teaching.
Everyone Can Create
Project guides that unleash creativity in every student.
When students have more ways to express ideas, it changes how they think. They see things they wouldn’t otherwise see and make connections they wouldn’t otherwise make. With this in mind, we’ve worked with educators to design a curriculum with project guides to help you ignite creativity and give your students the skills to communicate through drawing, photography, music and video. So your students can put math equations to music, bring an illustrator’s eye to social studies, and make scientific processes come alive on film.
Teaching Code
Curricula to help you teach the language of technology.
Our coding curricula help you bring coding into your classroom, whether your students are new to code or are aspiring developers. Student and teacher guides introduce core concepts that put coding with Swift into context so it’s easy to understand. Because when you teach coding, you’re not only teaching the language of technology. You’re teaching new ways to think and bring ideas to life.
We’ve designed curricula that make it easy to bring coding and core creative skills to every subject. And programs to help teachers learn from one another, resources to help teachers build skills on iPad and Mac, and initiatives to recognize pioneers in education. All to empower you to be the best teacher you can be.
IT and Deployment
Apple devices are as easy to deploy as they are to use.
We want every aspect of your school’s experience with Apple products to be as simple and intuitive as the products themselves. That starts with support for IT in each step of your deployment. And now with Microsoft Azure Active Directory support, it’s easier than ever to integrate iPad and Mac into your learning environment.
How to Buy
Rethink the cost of technology in your classrooms.
When you expect more from the technology you use in the classroom and look for what's best for teaching and learning, iPad is the clear winner over other less expensive options. And when you look closely at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for your deployment, you may find that iPad costs less and gives you more over its lifetime.
Student, teacher or parent, here are some back to school apps for the Mac you shouldn't be without!
It's that time of year when kids flock back to school and parents collectively breathe a sigh of relief. Some mornings the air is getting crisp and soon the leaves will start to turn - it's back to school time. If you're a Mac-using household and you'd like to get things together for the new school year, I've come up with a list of helpful Mac apps for you to look at. What's more, some of them integrate or complement iOS companion apps.
CourseNotes
CourseNotes is designed to help you organize class notes. You can track multiple subjects, keep track of assignments and tests, manage to do lists for upcoming assignments, insert images, and, best of all, sync content with CourseNotes for iPad - so if you prefer to take notes in class with an iPad instead of a laptop, you'll still have continuous information.

iFlash
Flash cards have been a proven way to memorize important facts and definition since time immemorial. They're integrated into iBooks as well, which Mac users will get when Mavericks ships this fall, but you don't have to wait that long thanks to iFlash. This app is a customizable flash card learning app. But you don't have to create your own - there are 15 different categories of decks (well over 3,000 in total) you can download to get started on right away. You can also print them, and use three different memorization systems.
