Apple’s next Apple Teacher Institute courses runs from April 1 to April 4 2008 at Cheltenham. We still have some places on this fully residential learning experience, using ICT to deliver exciting learning outcomes in the classroom,

“In the age of digital literacy and creativity, educators need to seek out best practice in the use of the tools available. Apple Teacher Institute offers a unique opportunity to develop the ideas you have already had about digital creativity, to see how others are using these new tools with great benefits in learning gains, and to understand the pedagogy that underpins the excitement of digital media.”

On this four-day residential course, you will learn in an environment where you are given the opportunity, inspiration, space and support to be creative with like-minded colleagues. All learning on this unique course will give you a thorough background in digital media but is carried out in a relaxed and friendly manner so that newcomers to the disciplines covered will not feel intimidated.

At this event, you will investigate a range of activities that focus on different digital media:

Digital storytelling
Podcasting
Creating content using digital video cameras and editing software
Exploring the use of still images, music and animation in multimedia projects
Methods for sharing digital projects on iPods, portable devices, DVD and the Web
Sharing of experiences, action planning and portfolio development
Development of skills in subject/age group relevant projects”
