What
students can create with iLife 05
With iPhoto, students can easily store, organize, and
edit digital photos, and then share them as photo books, customized
slideshows set to music, on web pages, and more.
With iTunes, they can store and organize music, audio
files (such as famous speeches), and sounds to use in their digital
projects. They can also store audio books and voice recordings, such
as poetry readings, and even create their own CDs.
With GarageBand, they can perform, record, and create
their own music with drag and drop simplicity. They can view their compositions
in full music notation and use their original music as soundtracks for
their slideshows, movies, and DVD projects.
With iMovie HD, students are empowered to create digital
stories and video documentaries that include digital video, photos,
and music, as well as their own narration and text.
With iDVD, they can easily create impressive DVDs to
store and share their digital projects, create portfolios that document
what they have learned and demonstrate proficiency, or present a class
movie, complete with menus and chapters.
