Apple Teacher Award for iPad (2022)
When I started working at Family School Digital Academy (Los Lunas Schools) I had been retired for five years. I had never been on Zoom and had very limited experience with iPads. One of our technology people worked with me that year and I was able to complete the Apple Teacher Training for iPad and received a certificate of completion.
