Wednesday May 28, 2025 1:05pm - 3:25pm CDT
Learning should be engaging, empowering, and fun — igniting a sense of joy, excitement, and possibility. This session will explore how Apple has been working with leaders, educators, and school communities from the beginning to build learning experiences to support this type of learning. And you’ll get to experience how Apple technology is designed with active learning in mind, helping students build critical skills by being more engaged in their own learning process. Get ready to flex your creativity muscles with multimedia! Bring a fully charged and updated iPad if you can, but iPads will also be available!
