Streamlining the Process: Teacher Certificates onto Social Media

Does Apple Education have recommendations for celebrating achievements LinkedIn? For example, what skills would they like users to associate with the certificate?

And for veracity, it's a good start for users to add certificates to the "Media section," but what about going beyond that?

1. "Apple Education" doesn't seem to be a recognized organization on LinkedIn's drop down menu, thought one could simply state "Apple." If one types "Apple Education," it provides a generic logo, which seems a missed branding opportunity as well as possibly de-motivating for the user.

2. "Apple Teacher" isn't one of the recognized certification on LinkedIn. Again, one could type it in if they wish, but can Apple Education get it listed with LinkedIn?

3. Perhaps as a "Credential URL," one could use the link from the "You're an Apple Teacher!" page? But this doesn't seem advisable since it requires sharing the user token.

4. As mentioned above, what skills would Apple Education like to standardize as branding associations with the different certifications?

Other companies have provided a link which automatically populate LinkedIn's "add certification" with the certificate, the company, the endorsed skills, etc. For teachers, this streamlines sharing achievements and provides additional authenticity that better reflects the nature of the hard work they put in. For Apple Education, this would benefit the company by providing a) higher engagement/awareness and b) a stronger brand focus, both promising elevated impact.

There are logo usage guidelines that come with each cert/ badge. I usually follow those.

These are the ones for Apple Teacher for social media

"Being an Apple Teacher is a real achievement, and we encourage you to share your accomplishment on your personal social media accounts. Use the following guidelines for updating your profile details, and take advantage of our suggested hashtag

(#AppleTeacher) for sharing your achievement with your network..

General guidelines• Add your recognition as an Apple Teacher by using this approved title in your bio messaging:

Apple Teacher

Always use the word Apple. Do not use the Apple Teacher signature in your bio. To link to the Apple Teacher website from your profile, use this URL: apple.com/education/k12/apple-teacher"



In a previous job I was on a team that looked to streamline this process across our large organisation. Essentially the goal was to have a digital passport of badges/ certs that a teacher could share a link to and bring with them throughout their career, this would include all the regular accreditations from Apple, Google. Microsoft and third parties like Showbie, Seesaw, ThingLink, Jamf etc. After working on it for well over a year we concluded it was just not possible to get them all aligned as they all give access in different ways.
