Creating iPhoto Memory Books
All Everett staff were introduced to this new feature from iPhoto 09'. Teachers were able to create a photo album depicting events from the classroom throughout the year and easily turn it into a DVD project that could be shared with students and parents at the end of the year.
Creating a Classroom Website
All classroom teachers have access to iWeb, a simple but sophisticated website creation software. Everett School has purchased a dedicated laptop for classroom web publishing and has subscribed to MobileMe, an Apple account, that allows for easy photo pages, as well as advanced podcast and blog capabilities.
