New Mac or more memory?

by CJ

Feb 3, 2014

Hi, I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I have a MackBook from 2008. It has been running slowly for a few months. AI don't want to purchase a new one unless I have to, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me how I can determine whether more memory would help. Thanks

Connor CJ, A six year old Mac showing symptoms of slowness may really be an issue with a full hard drive. (Adding memory wont help.) Anything below 10% free will cause slowness. Do a "Get Info" on your Macintosh HD; you will see "Capacity" and "Available." Again anything below 10% "Available" will cause slowness. Start by deleting old stuff. If the machin...See More

CJ Thanks, Connor,

I stopped checking for replies after a while and just decided to check this board again, I've just lived with it all this time, lol. I'll start deleting, thanks.

New app for the class

Dec 16, 2014

Hi everyone, Ive recently tried this new app, and wanted to know if anyone else has tried it and what your thoughts were if you had... Its called Tine, and it lets you add videos to these little stickers with your iPhone or iPad (I had to order the stickers separately - they were free, but they took 3 days to arrive). So far Ive had my students put...See More

Take ipads to next level. I'm stuck!

by Deedee/SD

Jan 25, 2014

I need help! I teach 1-4th grades for computers-which is what it was called until this year. This past year, our school purchased ipads for our elementary. Each classroom has enough for students to pair up to use them. So, not every student works alone. I go to each classroom and teach computers/tech for 1/2 hour each class. 1st and 2nd graders I s...See More

Hi Deedee,

I'm in a very similar position. We have been fortunate enough to secure a grant to purchase mini ipads for each student in our elementary school. Now my challenge, finding apps that 5th graders can use that provide fun, but academically ...See More

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a safe way to keep all the iPads in the classroom from getting stolen. There was an issue in the middle school I work in and since it took so long to get those iPads it would be really unfortunate to then have them taken. I am thinking of a security cabinet that would lock it all up, and if it ca...See More

Software Questions - Hyperstudio, Foolproof

by Carrie

Apr 24, 2007

/blockquote>

I just got word that our school is getting a new lab of
macs - don't know the specifications yet.

I use Hyperstudio on my imacs. It looks as if there is no
Hyperstudio for Mac OS X. If I'm wrong, let me know. What
would be a good replacement type of program that is simple
to teach some animation techni...See More

We just set up a new lab w/Macs. We set up a separate account for the student. It limits
what they can do. The only drawback is that when you need to update software etc., you
have to log out of the student account to make changes. It is kind of a pain but it beats
constantly having to worry about kids changing ...See More

I am planning workshops for K-4 teachers this summer. We
use MACs. Just wondering your suggestions for useful
workshops. We've done TimeLiner, KidPix, basic desktop
pub., and Kidspiration. Any suggestions based on your needs
or experience?

cluttered desktops

I once heard that a cluttered desktop (lots of files all
over) could slow down a machine. Is that true?

Another question about desktops, Greg

Thanks for the info about cluttered desktops. For further
clarification....is it still slow if all of those
individual files or folders are placed into one folder on
the desktop (ex. an in-progress folder)?

I can't seem to get the teachers to clean up those
desktops. There are files and folders all ove...See More

yes, that's what I do. I have a "sort" folder on the desktop /blockquote>

We like the feature of remote desktop that allows us to
display on the student's screen, what the teacher's shows
but we don't like the price. Is there a freeware version of
this? We don't really need many of the other features...
