3. Senior High Lesson Plans – Not to exclude PC users, but Apple has a site with lesson plans that utilize different hardware that can only be provided by Apple. Most of the lesson plans require that you have certain Apple hardware. The school that I observed at had a lot of Apple hardware and very few PCs. This is why I included this link.
