The Learning Mac podcast explores the diverse and exciting ways Macs are used in schools, colleges and other learning contexts to enhance and deliver a creative curriculum designed to meet the needs of modern education systems. Mark and Ian cover Apple hardware, software and the iPod Touch as teaching and learning tools, along with other related issues such as Web 2 apps, 3rd party software, social networking and running Windows on a Mac. Wider issues around technology and learning, productivity v creativity and the long-standing Mac v Windows debate are regular visitors to the dialogue.

Mike’s dulcet tones are most welcome this episode, treating us to a review of Garageband for iPad. Ian wraps up with another Springsteen lyric... | 7/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

TLM Podcast - episode 5 | This episode abandons the usual format of the show in order to embrace a debate about iPads, literacy and the imagination. Mike and Julian share their wisdom and considerable experience in this area, while Mark and Ian contribute to the discussion with their usual dry humour. Ian embeds another Springsteen lyric somewhere in the show and Mark gets sentimental about the ZX Spectrum. | 11/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

TLM Podcast - episode 4 | This episode sees more banter between the hosts of the show. Mark’s iPhone 4 commentary really hits the spot although Ian takes issue about his apparent dissing of the iPad. Ian goes on to discuss mind mapping applications for the Mac and introduces a section from Mike Watkinson on iPhone / iPod mind mapping apps. This show also sees the death of our much loved keyboard shortcut feature, so is worth listening to for that alone... Although a new feature on iPad apps is introduced to replace it. | 7/30/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
