I believe this certification could be relevant not just for my resume and not just for Apple products. Over the course of this Apple Teacher program, I have had to use my general knowledge of how technology usually works, but this has had to be supplemented with the Apple-specific functions that are still... counterintuitive at times. Yet the true value of these Apple methods for technology is honestly hard to quantify simply because there are so many possibilities to incorporate these technologies in my future classroom. As a social studies educator, I think the premier function of this tech would be in capturing the romance of history and the social studies, which can often be dry topics if taught without pizzazz. Apps like Keynote and iMovie would allow students to take ownership and express their understanding and passion with different parts of history through creative projects.
