Next month when I'm at CAMT, I get to use my iphone as a remote for the MacBook. One of my favorite apps links the phone and MacBook. It's great because it serves as a hand held remote (with cheat sheet notes that the audience doesn't see)!
Yesterday I also got a wireless keyboard and trackpad...so excited to test them out!
I made a brochure for this year's "meet the teacher/back to school" night. It has a daily schedule, contact information, a short note for the students, and a quick list of action items for them to do. When they complete all of the items on the list, they'll get a chance to choose a prize from the treasure box (really trying to connect the ocean/beach theme here)!
This is the first slide of my presentation for CAMT. . . hoping to wrap it up next week!
I have learned to love Keynote!

Mac's are great! I got a mac book about 8 months ago and I really love all the feature's it comes with! Another app connecting the iphone and mac is "remote" maybe you already have this, but your phone acts as a remote for your itunes!
ReplyDeletePray for me. I'm having a really hard time adjusting to my mac! Ha ha ha!

A personal Macbook Pro and iphone are both on my wishlist! I have a macbook, provided by my school, but in the Fall we will no longer be able to use it for personal use at all! :-( So, I need to find a great deal too! Love your blog!

I'm a mac, too! At least at school. My husband and I have PCs at home, but I have Mac at school and I love it! It is just so much easier to use.
ReplyDeleteI love that brochure! I'm definitely going to be creating my own jungle themed one for Back to School this year! Thanks for the awesome idea!

Congrats on the new MAC! My wonderful hubby surprised me with a MAC Book Pro in February. Love, love, looooooove it! The only issue I am finding is that I can't seem to get it hooked up to my SMART Board. Is anyone else using their MAC along with a SMART Board that can offer any tips?
ReplyDeleteGood luck a the conference!
