Apple at T+L 2002

At this year’s National School Boards Association’s 16th Annual
Technology and Learning Conference (T+L), you’ll hear how effective integration of Apple technology into curriculum promotes mastery of basic skills. It also engages and motivates students, and provides an environment that fosters higher order skills such as problem solving and collaboration. Research shows these factors positively impact student attendance and are directly attributed to raising student achievement.

Apple’s Presence at T+L Features

Mac OS X: Tomorrow is built into every Mac.
Mac OS X provides the foundation that makes digital media and a seamless user experience possible. Mac OS X v.10.2 is the open standards operating system and was built specifically for the Internet. Not only does Mac OS X make the creation of digital, interactive content easy for students and teachers, it also provides the flexibility for educators to choose best of breed solutions — thanks to its incredible support for open and industry standards. Mac OS X v10.2 brings an unprecedented level of stability, interoperability, and performance to the Apple platform

Wireless: The whole world is a classroom.
Wireless-enabled mobile computers are the new model for 21st century learning. This powerful, flexible tool extends learning beyond the classroom and bridges learning between home and school like never before. And best of all, students become more engaged as learners resulting in improved achievement, a higher quality of work, and more collaboration with others.

Digital Media: Make your lessons come to life.
Today’s students are truly the digital generation. The digital media in education is a powerful medium that brings the sights, sounds, and interactive content that engage and motivate students right into the classroom. Teachers can provide a more relevant learning experience to this digital generation and give students a voice for self-expression.

PowerSchool: Better data — better decisions.
Student information systems are mission-critical tools for K-12 schools. PowerSchool from Apple harnesses the power of the Internet to provide data-driven decision making with real-time access to vital data by administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Because PowerSchool is web-based, it is easy to install, maintain, and upgrade.

Education Resources
Effective professional development is the key to the successful use of technology. Collaboration between teachers about projects and curriculum allows them to enhance the classroom experience. Apple offers educators a vast web of resources to demonstrate best practices, integrate technology, purchase, finance, install, and support technology solutions.
