iLife tricks and tools (iLife includes iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, and GarageBand)

TIPS/TRICKS OF THE DAY: 1. Zoom feature - Hold down the "CTRL" key and use two fingers on the mouse pad to zoom in and zoom out 2. Preview feature - click one time on a document or file and click the space bar 3. International Keyboard feature - under system preferences (Select the Tab: Input Menu) 4. In the upper right of the desktop is a magnifying glass (Spotlight) to search your computer for files/applications 5. In the application TEXT EDIT - the computer will read what is typed to the student. 6. Screen Capture trick - Hold down "Apple"+SHIFT+4. Then drag on the screen the portion you want to "capture" - it will appear as a file on the desktop! 7. Control Click on any picture on the internet - a menu allows you to add the photo to iPhoto library (like a right-click on PC) 8. goto http://commons.wikimedia.org (lots of media, kids only need "cite" where they got the media)

We started by going to the iTunes and clicking "iTunes Store": 1. Click on PODCAST - Use this area to find resources for students - or have students find resources for you. 2. If students can not find a podcast for a topic you are looking for - they can create it using GarageBand! 3. iTunes U = The University for iTunes: Tech-Ease, k-12 iTunes

We Ended our day with PhotoBooth - Great-easy-Tricks for Projects (students in a Cell, in a movie trailer, etc.)
