Regional Training Centres

Bring Creativity to the Classroom.

The Regional Training Centres programme helps teachers bring learning to life with digital technology. GBM Digital work in partnership to support RTC’s to coach primary and secondary teachers in the use of Apple’s software packages - giving them the know-how to enliven school lessons with images, video and sound. Using Apple Education Mentors we can help to provide content to deliver teacher training on a variety of courses and topics.

The national network of Regional Training Centres allows you to discover how easily Apple’s software suites - iLife and iWork - can help children to learn more effectively - from nursery age upwards.

You’ll learn how to build new curricula around technology, create digital content for class and plan compelling assignments in a variety of media.

The Creative Teacher

Today’s teachers recognise how technology can motivate children to learn through exciting and creative approaches to teaching. A generation of ‘digital natives’ has grown up absorbing information from television, computers, video games, mobile phones and PDAs.

At Regional Training Centres, teachers can discover how the Mac platform offers digital solutions for all subjects in the curriculum; learn how Apple’s creative tools can help children learn more effectively; and explore how technology can break down barriers between different ability groups and between the classroom and the outside world.

RTC’s focus their training on the curriculum-enhancing opportunities of using iLife, the multimedia software that comes with every new Mac and features Apple’s award-winning iMovie HD, iPhoto, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb applications. Teachers are also introduced to more advanced Apple software applications to help give older students a headstart in preparing for careers in the creative industries.

Teachers who attend a course at a Regional Training Centre will discover that the Mac platform offers robust, stable, easily integrated solutions and that Macs can work seamlessly alongside PCs. Apple technology is famously easy to use and beginners can learn quickly and intuitively. With Apple, the technology never gets in the way of the creative process.
