Let nothing get in the way of a good idea.

The process of expressing creative ideas shouldnʼt be challenging. Apple provides easy-to-learn tools that allow students to communicate their best thinking in compelling, new ways.

iLife

Every Mac comes with iLife, an award-winning software suite that makes digital content creation easy for students and helps educators design more engaging lessons. iLife was designed with full integration in mind—so everything just works. It supports the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Students by cultivating a learning environment surrounded by creativity and innovation. And with Appleʼs one-of-a-kind Media Browser, it only takes a click or two to insert video clips, photos, and audio files from one application into another.

iLife includes:

• iPhoto, for organizing, editing, and sharing digital photos. Students can select their best photos and design their own photo books—complete with their own text—and publish or print them right from the classroom.
• iMovie, for creating digital movies. Students can import with ease, fine-tune every edit, and publish to a website almost instantly. And with Appleʼs new video stabilization feature that automatically reduces shake, every student can film with confidence.
• GarageBand, for learning to play the piano and guitar and for creating music and podcasts. With GarageBand students can compose, record, and mix music just like a professional recording engineer. Students and educators can also record podcasts and publish them on the web, or even in the iTunes Store.
• iWeb, for designing websites and publishing web pages. iWeb comes with dozens of Apple-designed themes that make it simple for students to customize pages by adding their own photos, videos, and text.
• iDVD, for custom-authoring DVDs that contain movies and digital photos. Students can use Apple-designed themes to create DVDs with animated menus, buttons, scene selection, and more.

iWork*

Creating professional-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations is simple with iWork, a suite of productivity applications that is fully integrated with iLife. Students can kick-start their creativity by using Apple-designed templates, then add content from iPhoto or iMovie—or even a video from iTunes U—in just a few clicks. They can transform text-only reports and essays into dynamic, media-rich presentations that can be effortlessly published on the web or even synced to an iPod. With iWork students can skillfully take on every part of a classroom project, from thoroughly organizing their data to powerfully presenting their findings.

iWork includes:

• Pages for streamlined word processing and beyond. Students can choose from over 180 templates to create professional-looking newsletters, brochures, reports, and more. Bring additional context to text through photos, sound clips, and video from iLife. Thereʼs even built-in support for MathType and EndNote, so students and teachers can easily add complex equations, bibliographies, and citations to their papers.
• Numbers for creating elegant tables, charts, and graphs. Students can use professional-quality templates, easy-to-create formulas, and stunning graphics to take spreadsheets to another level.
• Keynote for stunning presentations. Students can visually enhance an idea or message with easy-to-insert 3D charts, sophisticated animations, and media—including projects created in iLife. And with the Keynote Remote app* for iPhone and iPod touch, they can control their presentation, see subsequent slides, and review slide notes from anywhere in the room.

Professional applications

Appleʼs professional applications (sold separately) have become the industry standards for filmmakers, editors, photographers, sound designers, music producers, and multimedia artists. With access to these applications, students at your institution can master the same amazing tools used daily by professionals in the creative fields. (Students and educators alike can also give their careers a boost by earning Apple certification in these applications.)

Final Cut Studio 2* brings together six powerful post-production applications in an efficient, fully integrated working environment. With Final Cut Studio, students can create professional-looking video, audio, and motion graphics projects that rival Hollywoodʼs best.

Aperture 2* delivers streamlined tools for moving photos from capture to output with uncompromising quality. Enhanced image processing gives your students extraordinary control over the pictures they create.

Logic Studio* provides everything needed to create, record, mix, and perform music. Students can take advantage of a variety of studio effects as well as a built-in sound library containing thousands of loops and sampled instruments.
