This week I bought an Akai keyboard for the children as we have a budding musician in our midst and plugged it in, opened Garageband and hey presto I have a large group already getting excited and making music to play back. Can't do that with a PC!<br />MargaretMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822805947379380181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238763463826457310.post-43947326900134390722010-09-01T03:02:21.976-07:002010-09-01T03:02:21.976-07:00Excellent post.

At Manaia we have both and they are beginning to operate in similar ways (the PC world is seeing the light). I do really like how iphoto is integrated into so many applications via the media window. That is makes it so easy for children. And many of the applications have similar layouts so that once you have learnt one, it is easy to follow through with another application, ie the visual use of inspector, media, colour and fonts windows. Something PCs have not done yet as far as I know.Beverly Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429304628360932037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238763463826457310.post-24841841271283074812010-08-11T21:46:39.333-07:002010-08-11T21:46:39.333-07:00Great post Beverly.

However, in my current role I see benefits of being conversant with both. Windows 7 has a lovely interface now and is nearly (but not quite) as smooth as a Mac. You can get Photo Story 3 on a Mac and you cant get iMovie on a PC. Benefits to both I believe, so our household has at the moment 2 of each :DNaketaNZhttp://journeythroughteaching.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
