Getting Best Performance Out of Laptop Series: Intro

Have you caught your self day dreaming about doing something like this, because your computer just is not working properly or running too slow?

I often come across frustrated teachers who tell me how that their Macbook is not operating right, or there is a large amount of delay when typing an email, or their laptop is just plain slow.

This issue will even effect the performance of your interactive whiteboard.  Some teachers will experience long delay when trying to move an object or write with their pen (or finger) and think it is a problem with their interactive whiteboard.

In this series I would like to help with understanding how to minimize these issues and maximize your ability to make the most of your main Teacher Tool, your MLTI laptop.  I will be posting little snippets in the future, each discussing ways that effect laptop performance.  There are a couple of simple steps that can effect the performance of your Macbook laptop.  I hope this series is helpful.  Be looking for upcoming posts in this series.

Also, be sure to find the links to this blog series located in the right column of this blog.
