NOW I get it!

So, I’ve been teaching Mac classes for our local Community Education program which has forced me to dig in and become Mac-savvy…and, WOW, what a powerful tool a Mac truly is! Now I understand why Mac owners LOVE their Mac. The interconnectedness of the apps is truly insightful on Apple’s part; and Macs come with so many tools on them (right out of the box) that can really make your life simpler.

Take the Address Book for example, yea, a simple address book app, but no…actually, a powerful tool. With a little bit of grouping entries, you can even print labels for that group…think Christmas, what a time saver! And if you receive an your email from someone you want to add to your address book, a simple keystroke gets it done in a snap!

So much to discover, so little time…

Annual EFE Business Bash Presentation (12/2010)

I presented at our local RESA Business Bash for Education for Employee students in December, my session was "Keeping Face Online" and I talked about the benefits of building a positive "face" online using social networking tools. I explained the benefits of being "Googleable" and how potential employers will likely research applicants online (Google, Facebook, etc.). The session went well and I was pleased with the interaction (indicating true interest) from the students (mainly 11-12th graders).
