Become an Apple Educator
Yes, you are already a Mac user and teacher, but our favorite fruited technology wants to make you official. Apple wants to have 1,000,000 teachers credited as Apple Educators, and SHS wants you to be a part of that million! Click here to get started earning your badge.
Details: Apple Educator
- You do not have to be a classroom teacher to become an Apple Educator, anyone involved in education can earn a badge.
- Sign into the Apple Educator portal with your Apple ID; you will have to create an Apple ID if you don't already have one.
- If you are creating a new Apple ID, please write down your password and security questions & answers in a secure location.
- Once you have signed in, you will take tests over one of two strands: Mac or iPad. Since we are 1:1 Mac, take the tests for Mac first. Once you've passed all 8, if you'd like to try your hand at the iPad tests, go for it!
- The tests are 5 questions each - you must get at least 4 correct answers to pass. If you do not pass, you may retake the test immediately.
- Becoming an Apple Educator is fairly simple, but you will still receive a small token of appreciation for your efforts. AND you get a digital badge from Apple, which is awesome.
- Please forward your Apple Educator 2016 confirmation email to Abi once you've completed the tests and earned your badge. Good luck!
