There’s never been a better time to be a student. Technology has made learning more exciting — and more fun. And, as usual, Apple is playing a major role.

Many classrooms, colleges, and universities are now tech savvy. Campus information, study materials, and homework assignments are being posted online. Many educators are podcasting lessons and lectures. Projects demand more polish and sophistication. It’s an exciting time to be a student. Because what happens in the classroom no longer stays in the classroom — you can use your computer, your iPod, or your iPhone to work where you want, when you want.

Apple is at the core of this emerging direction for teaching and learning. The Mac is now the number one computer in schools and on college campuses. And iTunes U has quickly become the largest source of free mobile educational content. iLife, iWork, and Apple professional applications such as Final Cut and Aperture are the standards for media-intensive projects. The Mac, iPod, and iPhone all combine power, integration, durability, and ease of use that make them integral to learning today. With Apple and the Mac, you get the tools you need to be a successful student today. And you develop the skills you’ll need to be successful as the assignments get even more challenging tomorrow.
