WED/THU: More Keynote and Mac 101

¡El equipo de tarea español se reúne hoy en 
la habitación de Maestra Henry a las 4pm  
y CADA viernes en la habitación de 
Maestra Ingrid (201) a la hora del almuerzo!
  typing.com

 Daily Learning Target(s): 
  • I can continue to learn the basic functions of the Keynote presentation software and the Mac Operating System
Homework:  
  • Read for fun!
Reminders:  
  • Stay alert
  • Follow the steps when told
  • Follow them exactly
  • Check your neighbor
  • Help or get help as needed
  • John will ONLY give individual help during individual work-time
  • Schedule one-on-one or small group time with John during office hours for extra help!
Agenda:  [100]
  • Warm-Up: [15] 
  • Mac 101B [30 or LESS if we can so that we get more individual time!]
    • KEYS
    • Control vs Option vs Command/⌘ (The Apple Key)
    • Mac Key combinations vs Windows
      • When we say "Command" on the Mac it would be "Control" on a PC
    • Key combinations are pressed and held sequentially  and then released all at once
      • Command+C=Copy
      • Command+X=Cut
      • Command+V=Paste
    • Some key combinations work before you release them.
      • Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
      • Look what it does on John's computer with more things open at once
      • NOW what does it do?
    • Some key combinations open a menu or begin a process 
      • Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
      • What happens if you use 3 instead of 4? 
      • Try "Command + F" - what did it do?  
      • What does "⌘+ P" do?
    MENUS
    • Menus are at the TOP of the SCREEN and CHANGE depending on which program has FOCUS
      • They usually say things like "File" and "Edit" and "View"
      • If I need you need to press multiple menu items they will have "|" [bar] signs between them in the instruction, like this: "EDIT | FIND"
      • I use "|" whenever I am linking commands together - just follow the path!
    • REMEMBER: Menus CHANGE depending on the program that is in front (so always check THAT before you ask a question)
      • Use "⌘+TAB" to cycle programs and place the focus where you want it.
