MacBook Air arrived!!!

My new MacBook Air arrived on Friday Nov 30!
I have spent a lot of time learning and trouble shooting.  I have always had pcs in the past so there has been a bit of a learning curve with this new laptop. Using the trackpad is totally different - though I think I like it!
Of course I could not live without Microsoft office so I downloaded it earlier today. I was disappointed, however, to not get Microsoft Access in that bundle.

Another vital download, of course, was iBooks Author. I was not convinced about getting a Mac and have been contemplating it for more than a year. The expense seemed prohibitive. I was finally convinced that this was a good idea when my math dept was given 10 iPads to use in math classes. Then - I decided that I absolutely needed a Mac so that I may create custom content
 for my students.

I had to purchase an adapter dongle to connect to my projector - bought the lightning one and soon realized it was the wrong  one :(
I have since ordered the correct one and I hope it arrives quickly - I am looking for to using my Mac in class with my smartboard.

I created two iBooks this evening and experimented with all kinds of options: quizzes, weblinks, embed YouTube, include images, widgets etc.

I look forward to actually getting good at this!
