How, Why, What for?

The Macbook Air can help is in many ways, forms, and subjects. For example, we could use the Macbook Air for IT instead of using the schools computers. This would be better than using the schools computers because on the Macbook Air there are things such as a built in web cam, the latest apple software, Ilife and itunes, just to name a few. These would help us because starting with the webcam, it would mean that we could taking pictures&videos without using a video camera or a camera. Ilife would help us organize our life that we lead using the computer and without. For example if you have a meeting coming up you submit that information and your computer will remind you. You can create music, websites, books, calendars, CD's, DVDs and much much more all with just one piece of software, and it's all with the Macbook Air!! The Macbook Air would also help us because it would mean that people wouldn't have to wait a long time to log in or navigate around on their computer. This would be because everyone only uses their own computer so the only person that computer has to log on is the owner of that laptop. This would save a lot of time in all lessons because often times people cant use their computers, which means they cant do their work because the Internet isn't working or they cant log etc... So all of the students having a Macbook Air would increase our lesson time which would increase the amount we learn, even if it is only about 10 min. every time a teacher and their class is using the computers that is 1hour/60min. everyday in a week that is 7hours/420min. every week of wasted lesson time because something is wrong with a computer.

We could use the Macbook Air in literally every lesson except P.E. unless we are researching, that shows how valuable the Macbook Air would be if everyone had one at Qatar Academy!

What could we use it for?

In this blog I am going to talk about how we could use the Macbook air in school. We could use the Macbook Air for many subjects. We could use them for IT so that we wouldnt have to use the schools computers. This would be better than useing the schools computers because the Macbook Air has more things to offer and it is also faster, newer and very easily portable. Not to mention the fact that it only weighs 2.2 kg. We could use them for any project that requires us to use the internet, word, powerpoint, publisher, itunes, safari, icalender and ilife.

Macbook Air

I just started a new project which is about what new technology helps us at school and how it helps us. So for my new technology project I choose the "Mac book Air." This is a laptop, the thinnest in the world made by Apple Mac. I think that the Mac book Air can help us in school because it means that we can have a laptop that is really thin and light for us to take around, instead of lugging around a heavy and fat. The weight of the Mac book Air is a mere 2.2 kg. The Mac book Air has a built in Web cam so you don't need to use a video camera. The screen is a generous 75 cm. I think that the Mac book air can help us in many ways and in many subjects. for example we could use it in IT for many things like taking pictures or videos or working on a project with. The Mac book Air is equipped with the newest apple software, ilife. ilife can help us organize our life and files for school. So that we always know what we have to do and when by etc. The Mac book Air may be great but it ain't cheap, with all the extras and accessorize that apple has to offer for this product in comes out at just under QR13000. But you get what you pay for. Visit http://www.apple.com/macbookair/design.html for a closer look...
