Apple Creative Contest 2010

Looking for a creative challenge to showcase your skills? Then why not take part in the Creative Contest 2010, a pan-European competition organised by Apple for all AATCe Students. Create a film or song using Final Cut Studio or Logic Studio, and have your project reviewed by an international panel of creative professionals. There is no fee to enter the Audio or Video Contest. The minimum requirement is that you’re an AATCe student aged 18 or older.

iPad for Education

Having just spent the last two hours following a number of live blogs and chatting with fellow fanboys on iChat I am left deliberating the iPad. Personally speaking I didn’t feel the buzz of excitement that came when the iPhone was announced and although I probably won’t buy one myself I do predict I will be surrounded by iPads by this time next year.

Learning Interchange Compromised

If you use the brilliant Apple Learning Interchange site you should be aware that some aspects of the site may have been recently compromised. Today I received an email to say :

li“We recently learned that the security of Apple Learning Interchange (ALI) members’ names and passwords may have been compromised. These accounts are limited to accessing the ALI discussion board and do not contain sensitive information such as credit card or social security numbers”

The Interchange site is currently down for maintenance as we assume they are resolving the issue. In the meantime if you use the same username and password combination anywhere else you need to change such passwords immediately.

We hope the Learning Interchange site is restored to its full glory again very soon.

Apple Selling iPhones

Perhaps a slightly bizarre title for a post given Apple make the iPhone but this week they moved to sell the Pay as you Go offering via their website. A number of websites have reported this as further evidence that an updated device is set for the summer.

Auto Start Apps in Leopard

If you are like and prone to a little laziness fueled efficiency then having Leopard load your key applications is definitely going to be a benefit. Apple OS X has the ability to auto-run any application on start up, this video tutorial will show you just how easy it is to use.

Digital Divide No Longer Geographic

Nearly two years ago we wrote about the massive difference in the cost of educational site licenses (iWork, iLife etc) between the US and the UK. Read the article here. In 2007 the US could buy a site license of up to 500 seats for $249.

The Digital Divide : Geographic

We don’t tend to be controversial or tackle big issues on DigMo! but the last couple of weeks frustration has lead to this post. Having falling in love the with Apple Mac it is easy to see their instant value to education.
