This document discusses why Apple products are useful for education. It argues that learning needs to go beyond traditional styles to develop skills like complex thinking and communication. Effective learning experiences should be active, foster potential, and promote engagement through curiosity. Apple tools can support personalized and meaningful learning, new ways of working together through communication and creation. They also help develop critical thinking, instructional design, and a professional learning culture within the school environment.
