"Apple products are already a central part of our lives in so many ways. We use
them to work, socialise, monitor our heart rates, pay for things and watch TV.
But did you know they are also involved in teaching school teachers?
The shift to online learning following COVID-19 is not only for students.
Teachers now also do a lot of professional development online, often via global
technology companies or “EdTechs”.
One familiar sounding example of this is Apple Teacher. This is a free
professional learning program developed by Apple for school teachers. Offered
in 36 countries including Australia, Apple Teacher claims to “support and
celebrate teachers using Apple products for teaching and learning”.
In my new research, I argue Apple Teacher is helping Apple position itself as a
global education expert. This move is largely flying under the radar."
