High school teachers at Mac workshop

Yesterday and today the Bancroft-Rosalie high school teachers were involved in training on using the Mac computers in the classroom. The Training was entitled "Learning with iLife", and was presented by Cyndi Danner-Kuhn of Kansas State University and a Mac trainer. iLife software includes iPhoto, iWeb, GarageBand and iMovie.

The Monday sessions involved an introduction to the Mac, an iLife overview, iPhoto, and GarageBand. The teachers made a iPhoto photo album and wrote a piece of music with Garage Band. On Tuesday the teachers made a movie with iMovie and explored the Apple Interchange, iTunes U and iWeb.

The goal of the workshop was to help the teachers to incorporate student use of Mac computers in the classroom.
