eXtending iLife iNto wEb 2.0

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog for integrating Apple's iLife into Web 2.0. All the posts here relate to using applications, primarily iLife, on a Mac with Web 2.0 technologies, to educate. The blog was first used to support a professional learning course taught in the summer of 2007. You'll see the welcome post below for that course, as well as a brief introduction from each of the contributors to the blog.

To navigate to posts about curricular areas or about iLife applications or Web 2.0 technologies, please use the categories area on the left, as well as the links below that. You will also see a link to a del.icio.us account that we hope you will also find helpful.

Comments are welcome, though are moderated.

Hi! I taught a variety of science content at the high school level for 18 years, using whatever technology I could beg or borrow. One of my first experiences with technology was writing my own gradebook program in DOS for the Apple II. My students' first experiences were using AppleWorks for analysis of data collected in the lab, as well as Vernier's Graphical Analysis.

I have been a Technology Integration Specialist with the district for the past 5 years. I especially like to work with Macs and Web 2.0 technologies.

If I'm not on a Mac, you can most likely find me either on the tennis court, in my basement working on one of my other passions, or just hanging out with my wife and daughter.

Managment

There are some expectations we have for the course. Of course, you have to attend and participate in class. We also expect you to participate here on the blog. Our posts will be open to comments and we will sometimes ask that you comment on our posts. Let's start now by answering the following question: What do you expect to get from this course? Is there something in particular that you want to know how to do?

Navigation

Each day, you'll need to check the blog. We have categories on the left side of the page. Many posts are in multiple categories, but the posts for a particular day will be released in a category for that day. For example, any posts for the first day of class will be in the category of Day 1. On the first day, we're working on iPhoto, among other things. There's a category for iPhoto, so the posts about iPhoto will be in the iPhoto category, as well as the Day 1 category.

Make sense?

PS You don't have to comment ; )
