New eToolBox Page – Meet your Mac!

Posted on

This week I will be offering workshops after school for the employees of my district to revisit some of the basics of the Mac OS and to review some tips and tricks.  In preparing for the presentation I thought about the members of the staff who cannot be there and, upon the suggestion of my friend Debbie, a technology assistant, I have put together an eToolBox page to highlight the Macs, give some tutorials and help to those coming from a PC environment and to provide a place where employees of my district can access tip sheets and directions on various things dealing with their Macs.

In addition to these lists of resources there are also 2 presentations in Smart Notebook form for the “Meet your Mac” and “Meet your Mac.. Again!” sessions.
