One Best Thing Series
One Best Thing is a collection of books created by Apple Distinguished Educators (ADEs) that demonstrate the use of Apple technologies to transform teaching and learning. Each One Best Thing book shares a unit, a lesson, or a best practice and is designed to help another educator implement a successful practice. It’s a professional learning idea championed by an educator—in word and action—that others can look to for ideas and tips on how to replicate. Some examples are:
- Reaching All Learners: Utilising Student Interests to Empower Accessibility – Craig Smith.
In this book, Craig discusses the importance of personal interests for children on the Autism Spectrum cannot be overstated. Learn how this educator leveraged the passions of his students in order to empower them to access the expectations of the school curriculum using film and multimedia production. - Express Yourself: The Art of Me – April Requard
In this book, April discusses using technology, takes a traditional silhouette art project and redefines it. This project combines language arts, fine arts, and technology as students grades 3 and up create a modern expression of identity. - Write to Change the World: Challenge Based Learning for Persuasive Writing – Katie Morrow
