Neal Models of Powerbooks. Over time the solder joint breaks loose from the logic board. ON SOME MODELS a SHIM can get the unit working again - for a while. You'll have to partially dismantle the laptop to try it.

Good Luck

Hello Everyone,

Thanks.

iPhoto

I've been using iPhoto to save pics from my digital camera and and then emailing to the church secretary for her to use in newsletters. She has asked me to send them as a jpg file. Can I do that....if so, can someone give me some directions ?

Thanks !

Neal I think the mobile version of iPhoto sends HTML emails so that will never send as an attachment (separate file). Ask the secretary to right click the photo to copy it, then open pain and paste it. She can then do "SaveAs" .jpg or .tiff

I think they can be helpful or they can be distracting. It depends on how they're used. I read a great report from Carnegie Mellon about laptop use (and importantly, ownershi...See More

It has been amazing to see the increased student engagement with the use of the iPad in centers, intervention,creating a movie in iMovie to go with our reading lesson, etc.. Students that had been reluctant to participate in practicing letter naming now constantly ask if they can...See More

Does your school use Ipads or online textbooks?

by LM

Feb 3, 2012

We are a small school with limited resources, but are trying to see if we could move toward putting Ipads in the upper grade classrooms.

We wonder how it works in other schools as well as if anyone is using online textbooks.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
