Free STEM teaching materials available via iTunes U & iBooks

A message from our own MLTI:

Dear MLTI Schools,

The following information is being shared with you on behalf of Apple and the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation. If you have any questions, please contact Jim Moulton at moulton@apple.com. 

Thank you 

The MLTI Team 

====== 

This summer, the E. O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation made a collection of powerful STEM teaching materials available for FREE via a 7 volume "Life on Earth" iBooks textbooks series, as well as an iTunes U course. 

        https://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link?path=lifeonearth 

We are reaching out to all schools participating in one of the Apple MLTI solutions with an effort to identify teachers who have begun using the FREE materials that are made available via iBooks and iTunes U. 

If you have begun using these materials, please let us know - and know that we understand that these materials just became available this summer, so we have no expectations of "degree of use."  Rather, we are simply seeking to identify educators who have begun to use these resources in some way with their students - as auxiliary or foundational materials in support of teaching and learning. 

So, if you have not taken a look at these great resources, please do, and if you have begun using them, please be in touch via e-mail to Jim Moulton at moulton@apple.com
In addition, if you have questions about these resources, please let us know by sending your questions to Jim Moulton at moulton@apple.com or (207) 449-8668

MLTI Minute - Stickies

I would like to give a Shout-Out to MLTI's MLTI Minute.  I'm not sure if any of you are aware of this.  MLTI posts, regularly, easy to swallow, roughly one (1) minute videos featureing several important tid-bits and gold nuggets of information about making the most of your MLTI Macbook laptop.  From keystroke shortcuts to explanations of all of the programs on your device.  You can access these right from MLTI's website.  Each video can be downloaded from the site.

In my travels I find several faculty that love to use Stickies on their Macbook device.  I want to feature a great little bundle of videos for those who love to use their Stickies and want to learn how to make them work for you more.

Here are the links below to five, 1-min, videos that reveal some important features of Stickies

• Episode 7 - Quick Stickies
• Episode 24 - Making Floating Stickies
• Episode 61 - Backup Stickies
• Episode 83 - Restore Stickies
• Episode 117 - Six Stickies Tips

 You can also subcribe to MLTI Minute podcasts through iTunesU in your iTunes application; every MLTI posts a new video podcast your iTunes library will automatically retrieve it.


I will post something later explaining the great resource of iTunesU later.
