iLife in the Classroom
 |
iPhoto makes it easy to download, organize, edit, and share digital photos. Students can create field trip slideshows, web pages with photos of their artwork, photo books, and more. They can also store and organize photos for use in their digital movies. |
 |
With iTunes, students can store and organize music, audio files (such as famous speeches and voice recordings), and original GarageBand compositions to use in their digital projects. They can also download and listen to audio books. Teachers can save reading samples, assess foreign language skills, and create CDs of their students’ original music or poetry readings. |
 |
With GarageBand, students can perform, record, and create their own music. They can easily create original music by combining a series of pre-recorded musical performances. Or, they can plug in a guitar, keyboard, or microphone and record their own music, and view full music notation as they record. They can use their original songs as soundtracks for their slideshows, movies, and DVD projects. |
 |
WithiMovie HD, students can easily create movie projects that include digital video, photos, and music, as well as narration and text. Students can use iMovie HD to create video science reports, their own short films, or historical documentaries. Teachers can use iMovie HD to share best practices with their peers. |
 |
With iDVD, students can readily create impressive DVDs to store and share their digital projects, document their learning, or present a class movie, complete with menus and chapters. And because DVD discs hold so much information, teachers can store several digital media projects on one DVD. |
