Digital Commons at the College of Education’s EDUCATE Fair

The EDUCATE fair, hosted by the College of Education, was an opportunity for the incoming students to learn about a variety of Mac software. The College of Education has recently started requiring the purchase of a Notebook Computer, in this case, the Macbook, upon entry to the major.

For a lot of students this is the first time they have used a Mac, and the iLife package that comes with each computer. Digital Commons was happy to help teach some hands-on training with Garageband, as well as answer any questions about iMovie and iDVD. Hannah Sloan spent time providing hands-on training helping each student create an enhanced podcast with images, chapters and hyperlinks, and also the process for publishing these podcasts to iTunesU. While each session only took about an hour, Justin Miller and Hannah stayed all day to answer questions and talk to the students about the resources that are available at the Digital Commons. All in all, it sounds like it was a very successful day.
