Apple shares stories of teachers who teach programming to children
Recently, Apple published a video showing the importance of knowing how to program. In it, educators from several schools – apparently all of Apple’s partners – around the world told how their students benefit from learning programming, even if they don’t intend to be programmers.
Schools make use of free training resources Programming for All, from Apple, whereby “teachers and students learn to use the iPad and the Swift Playgrounds in an easy and fun way ”.
Now, in a new series, Apple has delved into each of these stories shared in the first video. Check them all out below:
François’s story
Rikito’s story
Dahlya’s story
Claire’s story
Diana’s story
It is worth noting that Swift Playgrounds recently arrived on macOS, opening up the possibility that this learning can also happen on Macs – in addition to iPads, as always.

In addition to these, Apple also shared a look at its program Creativity for All. In the video, students tell why they prefer to use creativity to show their work, and how it allows them to better express what they have learned.
