It's that time of year again and already we have been busy running iPad training sessions with staff preparing for the new year. Apple Professional Development or APD training is growing in popularity with Apple resellers incentivised to push this out to schools buying 50+ iPads. What is great about this initiative is that schools who previously would just buy hardware are now getting training and realising that it makes their technology purchase so much more effective.

If you are a school thinking of buying iPads talk to your Apple reseller about APD and how it can be part of the bundle of equipment you purchase.

The Trilby Training app [iTunes Link] has had an update and now includes our Self Assessment tool which helps to gather data around how comfortable, confident and competent staff are with technology. We think this is a far better measurement than a skill assessment as it looks at how capable staff are at putting technology in to use, not just how well they personally use it. Download the app and give it a go, we are very interested in your feedback as always.
