This session will have a quick demo with a chance for some hands-on experimentation.

About this series

These lab sessions are short demonstrations and hands-on opportunities to learn to use tools on your Mac, focusing on collaboration and the creation of digital media for your courses. Users are encouraged to bring their Mac laptops, however, we do have a few Macs in the CET. Sessions will be recorded as podcasts. These will be led by Mac consultant Fred Chandra of Residential Life. 

Please RSVP by clicking the lab session title.

April  14, 1:00- 2:30 p.m. Creating Narrated Lectures using Keynote (and PowerPoint)

Do you already have your lectures prepared in PowerPoint or Keynote? Learn how to augment your current materials, and convert them to a recorded video podcast in the same time it would take you to deliver your lecture. Bring a short slide show to convert during the lab time. 

April 21, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. Create Podcasts with GarageBand

GarageBand, which comes free on every new Mac, allows you to record, edit, and mix audio with images. You'll be able to create simple, enhanced audio podcast that use images to enforce your message.  After a 1 hour demonstration, there will be open lab time where you can experiment, work on a project and ask questions. We invite all faculty members who are considering leveraging these technologies in the classroom to join us for these lecture, then demo based sessions. At the end of the session, you'll have the opportunity to get one-on-one support for your projects.  

If these times are not convenient, additional sessions may be scheduled.  Podcasts and handouts of these sessions are available in iTunes U.
