Welcome to this page on getting to know your MAC The Mojave version of the Mac operating system offers some nice new features. I would recommend everyone spends some time getting the most out of their Mac by watching the video below. Don't forget to pause from time to time to practise what you have learnt or fast forward bits you already are familiar with. You can also browse the apple support website, there you will find lots of video and text-based guides.  http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ Once you get to grips with the Mac basics, there there is the Mac Quick Tips page  to further develop your skills, there you can get podcast videos and shortcuts.

Planning an engaging, inspirational unit of work is a challenge, especially when introducing innovative learning opportunities that have not experienced using before.  This document will give you some  ideas and  examples to get you started on creating meaningful learning experiences.

The Google spam filter can at times mark good emails as spam. It is a good idea for users to regularly check the contents of their spam folder to see if it contains important emails. If you want to prevent emails from a particular domain (e.g. the school domain @bisphuket.ac.th) ever being placed in spam then follow the steps to create a filter that will do this. Open GMail and go to Settings (from the  drop down menu under the "cog" icon. Select the Filter tab Enter the domain in the FROM box CRITICAL if your email is also in the domain then add -youremail (there is a minus sign before your email address, which removes it from the search, otherwise every mail you send will also appear in the Inbox) Click "Create Filter" Select the option "Never send it to Spam" Click create filter Those emails should now never go to spam, but remember those from other users may still be placed in the Spam folder so continue to regularly check that fold...

There are two main options for an Apple ID to use when installing an iPad for a Primary student. The recommended approach is to set up a Family Apple ID and create the child a personal Apple ID within that structure. The alternative is to use an adult Apple ID and completely manage the iPad for the child. It is recommended that student's should not have access to a parents main Apple ID or an Apple ID with credit card information attached. It is generally not possible to create an standard Apple ID linked to Thailand without providing valid credit card information. If you create an Apple ID from a different country then it may be possible to create an account without any payment information or by using an iTunes or AppStore Gift card (from the correct country). The address you give needs to match the country you are registering the account in and the age must be over 13. For a Family Apple ID more information and instructions for creating are given at  https://support.apple.c...
