"To support schools in getting the most from Apple products, we developed professional learning as an essential part of our education offering," Susan Prescott, Apple's VP of Worldwide Developer Relations and Product Marketing for Enterprise and Education, said in a statement.

"The new 'Apple Teacher Portfolio' helps build educators' confidence in reimagining their lessons and recognizes them for the great work they do every day," Prescott added.

With 21 templates and lesson ideas inspired by the Everyone Can Create project guides, educators can enhance their work with engaging everyday lessons for students, using apps like Keynote, GarageBand, and iMovie.

For educators, the new portfolio becomes a compilation of their most creative and engaging lessons, a body of work ready to share with leadership and peers, the company said.

The company also said that it is providing updates across its Schoolwork and Classroom apps and the popular Everyone Can Create curriculum, which takes advantage of the latest features of iPad and Apple apps.

The new versions of both Schoolwork and Classroom are available in beta now through AppleSeed for IT and the Everyone Can Create guides are updated and available as a free download on Apple Books. (IANS/KB)
