Week 2 - Learning Macs

This week we learned the basic operations of a mac computer. We learned the different parts on the desktop and learned how to make files and folders. The lesson also contained information about the different shortcuts that are available on a Mac to help make things run smoother.

Additionally, outside of our lesson I learned some other little fun facts about macs. this website has a bunch of little facts about Macintosh computers. For example, it claims that: "On average, the cost to develop and support Windows applications is 50% higher per dollar of revenue than the cost to develop for Macintosh." I find this really interesting and am wondering how true it really is.

I plan to become an elementary school teacher and in this field this knowledge is very important. In my elementary school we only used Mac computers and therefore as a teacher at that school I would need to understand them to help my students. Seeing as I have never owned a mac myself I think that this lesson was really very useful to me and I will most definitely take it with me in my career.
