Lovely to meet and catch up with folks from the Apple education community in Madrid today. Apple EDU Community España

Reflecting on 10 wonderful days of in-person connection in Belfast, Lisbon, and Bengaluru. Feeling weary. Feeling grateful for lovely colleagues - and communities of passionate educators that continue to inspire me to action :-) #ADE24 #AppleEducationCommunity

Excited to be on my way to the Apple Education Community Summit in Sydney. Looking forward to (re)connecting, learning, and avoiding being photobombed by the legend that is Jeff Vardy #AppleEducationCommunity

Six word stories as we come to the end of #ANZSummit24…what a way to spend a week! So many lovely reflections on the Apple Education Community Forum: education.apple.com/discussion/250… Peter Ford

A wonderful week of connection, learning and sharing at the #ANZSummit24 ‘Passionate folks building community smarts together’ #sixwordstory

Today is a big day! #AnAppAboutApps is now live. This learning universe, designed as an app, guides students through the design process from idea to app. 📚💡 All materials can be downloaded from this link: appsbyralo.github.io/An-App-About-A… 📥 #EveryoneCanCreate #AppleEduChat

Six months ago, I couldn’t write a single line of code in #Swift. Today, we kicked off citizen workshops in Vallensbæk Municipality on idea development, apps and coding in Swift. Yeah ✨ Apple Education Peter Ford #EveryoneCanCreate #Coding #AppleEduChat #AppleEduCommunity

Love the new #EveryoneCanCreate ideas on #AppleEducationCommunity. I had some fun playing with Early Learners Create a Sticker Collage. ✨ I tried the Reducio spell from Harry Potter, and now I’m smaller than a chocolate frog. Guess I’ll just stick to reading for now…

I’m excited to see our Glasgow City Council pupils use Apple #Keynote to bring Glasgow’s icons—like Mackintosh & IRN-BRU to life!👏With #EveryoneCanCreate, #AppleEducation makes blending history, culture, and creativity so easy. Can’t wait to see others' creations!🎨✨EdIS Glasgow
