Description:
Designed for the Mac, this class focuses on developing and implementing a learning project using the iLife 08 suite as an educational tool. We first provide a foundation in the necessary theory on project-based learning, assist participants with skills needed to use the different tools in iLife 08, and then offer general ideas for application and specific examples of effective educational uses of these technology tools. Based upon the principles taught in Bernajean Porter’s Digitales: The Art of Telling Digital Stories, learn to craft and share your own digital story. Use basic story creation tools in this Mac-based class including iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, iWeb, and GarageBand.
