Made for Education
The Mac is a recording studio. A film editor. A communicator. A video conferencing tool. A number cruncher. A dictionay. A graphic designer. A podcast producer. And that’s just a partial list. It’s the best way to inspire creative thinking and collaboration inside the classroom — and the best way to reach mobile, media-savvy students outside the classroom.
Built-in Teaching and Learning tools
The Mac comes with tools that make classwork more engaging. A built-in video camera and microphone are perfectly suited for podcasting and video conferencing.* Built-in wireless technology automatically finds an available Wi-Fi network as soon as you start up. iLife — a suite of applications loaded on every Mac — includes photo, movie, music, website, and podcasting applications that are great teaching and learning tools. The Mac also works effortlessly with most printers, cameras, science accessories and other peripherals.
Mobile Learning
You know that mobile learning is reshaping the educational experience. Learning no longer happens only at a desk. Apple makes it easy for you and your students to collaborate, no matter where everyone is working. You can also give students, parents, alums and the rest of the world access to free educational content around the clock with iTunes U — a special section of the iTunes Store that’s just for education.
Digital Content Creation
Every Mac comes with iLife, Apple’s award-winning suite of applications for creating movies, music, podcasts, photo projects, websites and blogs. iWork (sold separately) makes it easy to turn out amazing presentations, spreadsheets and reports. And Apple professional applications such as Final Cut Studio, Aperture, and Logic Studio have become the standards in creative industries.
Unleashing Pupils’ Productivity and Creativity
With the Mac, pupils have a robust set of learning tools at their fingertips. They can communicate and collaborate with each other; connect to external devices such as cameras, scientific probes or
projectors; and copy their work onto CDs or DVDs. And with included software, such as the award-winning iLife digital authoring suite, students can express themselves by creating movies, photo books, music, websites and podcasts; manage their calendars and to-do lists; access a graphing calculator; and much more. These innovative Apple solutions foster the development of the creative and critical thinking skills which are so important for today’s learners.
