Practical Principles Epdisode 20

In the podcast, Melinda Miller and Scott Elias dicuss how to become an Apple Distinguished educator. To become an Apple distinguished educator, one must fill out an application. The application must be accepted before continuing on in the process. After having the application submitted, a video must be watched and reviewed. To apply for this one does not have to have a ton of knowledge of Apple software. There are four roles that need to be metbut there is only one role that is actually necessary. It ios the advocate role. However, one does not need to be a technology whiz, they just have to be passionate about hat they are doing.


Anyone can apply to be an Apple distinguished educator that has an educational knowledge. This includes a teacher, a distict technology personnel, or anyone with some involvement in education. People with different types of strengths are brought to the table when in the Apple distinguished educators.Int he conferences many things are discussed. In the most recent conference brands were discussed.They were discussing whether or not to bring branding into the school system. For example school branding, class branding, or personal branding. The podcast was very informative and I enjoyed listening to it.
