Applications to the Apple Distinguished Educator program whch are taken only every other year are now being accepted for 2009.

Consider applying if you are an Apple using educator.  Benefits of the program include having a strong network of like-minded individuals who support and encourage you for life as well as ocassional access to Apple software products.  Obligations include speaking at conferences about Apple products.

You must also attend a summer institute in Orlando, Florida in order to become a part of the program.  Read about my Apple Camp experience here.

I had some anxiety about applying to the program two years ago but it’s been one of the best things I’ve done for myself professionally and personally.  I encourage you to apply by visiting Apple’s web site.
