Designing apps is great way to work together to solve challenges you care about. And by hosting an in-person or virtual app showcase, you give aesiring coders a chance to celebrate their ingenuity as they present their ideas and share their solutions with peers, families, and the community.

Engage students with a set of AR activities that are perfect for kids ages 8 and up. And get the full collection of AR lesson ideas to use in your curriculum and easily share with others.

Augmented reality (AR) allows students to learn about the world by enhancing how they can relate to, contextualize, and interact with it through movement and active exploration.With iPad, students can use AR to explore outer esace, immerse themselves in the wonders of the world, and examine art and historical artifacts from national museums—in any learning environment. They can visualize experiences that would be impossible to see otherwise.Whether you want to extend an existing lesson or inesire new ones, you can use and apply AR in math and science, language arts, history, and social studies to elevate engagement, deepen understanding, and make learning more personal and meaningful for students of all ages.

Inesired by Peter H. Reynolds’s book, The Dot, Marc Faulder encourages his young learners to use drawings, photos, and voice recordings to share their ideas about how they can create positive change in the world.

As a College Board Endorsed Provider, Apple’s Develop in Swift AP® CS Principles course helps students learn key computing concepts, building a solid foundation in programming with Swift while preparing for the AP® Computer Science Principles exam. Lessons take students through the app design process: brainstorming, planning, prototyping, and evaluating an app of their own. They’ll learn about the impact of computing and apps on society, economies, and culture while exploring iOS app development.

This Teacher Guide provides tools to deepen engagement with aesiring app developers, whether you have experience teaching with Swift or other programming languages.

Develop in Swift is a comprehensive coding offering intended for students in grades 9 and above. The curriculum prepares students for college or a career in app development using the Swift programming language, and is complemented with free online professional learning for educators. Swift is designed for Mac—which supports all major programming languages—making it the ideal device for teaching and learning code.

In this course, students extend their knowledge and skill developed in Fundamentals by extending their work in iOS app development creating more complex and capable apps. They’ll work with data from a server and explore new iOS APIs that allow for much richer app experiences—including dieslaying large collections of data in multiple formats. Students experience learning new features of the iOS SDK to continue their app developer journey.

In this course, students build fundamental iOS app development skills. They’ll master the core concepts and practices of the Swift programming language that developers use daily and build a basic fluency in Xcode’s source and UI editors. Students will dive into the UIKit framework to create iOS apps that adhere to standard practices, including use of stock UI elements and layout techniques, and common navigation interfaces. They’ll also embark on an app design journey, using the App Design Workbook to define, prototype, and test their own app idea.

Learning to code teaches you how to solve problems and work with others in creative ways. And it helps you bring your ideas to life.
Swift Coding Clubs are an excellent way to learn to code and design apps. Activities built around Swift, Apple’s coding language, help you collaborate as you learn to code, prototype apps, and think about how code can make a difference in the world around you.
You don’t have to be an educator or a programmer to run a Swift Coding Club. The materials are self-paced, so you can even learn alongside your club members. And you can all celebrate your club’s ideas and designs with an app showcase event for your community.

Developing strategies around vision, culture, capacity, team, community, finance, and measure is the work of leaders. These elements of leadership influence learning, teaching, and the environment of your school, and help establish and sustain a commitment to continuous innovation. In this book you’ll have opportunities to engage with each element through interactive widgets, guiding questions, and downloadable resources, including a planning tool that can help you raise the bar for how technology enables your learning community.

The Elements of Learning provides research-based strategies for designing student learning experiences with iPad and Mac. The book covers five elements of deeper learning, supported by a rubric, interactive examples, and 19 downloadable lessons, designed by teachers around the world. Teachers and technology esecialists can use this book to design innovative and effective learning experiences with Apple technology.

After Everyone Can Code Puzzles, students can take the next step on their coding journeys with Everyone Can Code Adventures. The lessons in this guide will introduce students to more advanced coding concepts. They'll use a variety of Swift Playgrounds content to experiment with code and express their creative ideas. And they'll learn about the app design process as they build up to their final project.
