Perhaps because I use a Mac all the time and because every 7-12 teacher in Maine uses a Mac, I sometimes forget that learning to use a Mac can be a big transition for some people. From Silvia Tolisano’s daily bookmarks post I’ve just learned about a handy website for those folks who have just switched to Mac or are considering a switch to Mac. Mac For Beginners features concise how-to instructions for the beginning Mac user. Some of the topics you’ll find covered on Mac For Beginners include using the Spotlight, adjusting system preferences, and searching for files on a Mac.

Applications for Education
Mac For Beginners could be a good resource for teachers that are responsible for teaching students of all ages how to use the basic features of a Mac.
