Welcome to Introduction to Apple iLife ’06 in the Classroom
This course will be delivered by Leslie Carroll and Mary Marotta. We are both technology integration teachers for the Nashoba Regional School District and are very excited about teaching this course.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to train teachers to use the applications included in Apple’s iLife ’06 suite including iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, iDVD and GarageBand. We will provide basic instruction on how to use each of the various applications and ideas on how to incorporate them into a classroom environment, either making projects for instructional use or teaching students to create their own projects.

Hello Mary-this is my very first attempt at blogging-let's see how it goes...
My name is Carol Webb and I am an elementary special education teacher in the Lowell Public Schools.
I am also a devoted Macintosh user and have been using iLife for a few years, mostly iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie. I am mostly self-taught and want to explore these apps more fully and really learn how to use them. I've recently begun to explore iDVD...not a bad first attempt, but I know there's a lot more to know!
Looking forward to the class-see you Friday!
Leslie Carroll here, one of your instructors. I am a technology specialist at an elementary school, have spent 5 years working with PCs and 5 years working with Macs.
I am very excited about some of the new features in iLife 06 apps and can't wait to see how you all do with this course. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.
Hi-My name is Sue Weeks. I am a Library Media Specialist in Groton Dunstable Schools,grades PreK-4. We use Macs in the elementary schools however many of them are OS 9. I am slightly familiar with iPhoto and iMovie but only know the basics. None of our Macs have a superdrive and sadly, Macs are being phased out in our district. I still would like to learn all that iLife has to offer in case I choose to buy a Mac for my own use. I also would like to know more about the applications that we can use in the schools on the OS X models that are still there.
See you Friday.
