Mac Tips

Special Keys

The Mac Command Key

You probably call this the "Apple tree Central", only it's officially called the Command Key and it is located about your spacebar. It is used on a Mac much similar the command key is used on Microsoft Windows®; case: control-c on Windows copies and on a Mac we utilize command-c; control-v pastes on Windows and command-five pastes on Mac Os.


The Option Key

The Selection Fundamental is located near the Control Central and is sometimes called the ALT key. This central can frustrate a Windows user, as it doesn't work equally a Windows ALT key does (you'll ofttimes apply the Command Key on Mac where ALT is used in Windows), such as when tabbing through open applications: on Windows it's ALT-Tab, on a Mac it'due south Control-Tab.


The Control Key

The Control Cardinal is located about the Control Key and has special funtions on a Mac (see "Right Clicking" below).


Exiting A Bad Programme

On Windows, Alt+F4 will quickly terminate a programme.

On Mac Os, Command+Q volition chop-chop terminate a programme.


The "three-Finger Salute"

On Windows, when a plan stops behaving properly, you tin can printing Control+Alt+Delete to invoke the Task Director to brand an application stop.

On Mac Os, y'all can reach the aforementioned thing by pressing Command+Option+Escape; this invokes the Force Quit carte du jour and you can make applications terminate.


"Correct Clicking"

Sometimes you need to correct click. On well-nigh computers it's easy, as they come with a two-push mouse. On Mac OS, y'all typically find a single-push mouse.

You lot can plug a two-push mouse in to a Mac and it will work. The reason is because two-button mice work on Unix and Mac Bone is a Unix variant that uses parts from FreeBSD'south and NetBSD's implementation of Unix.

You lot can also "right click" on a Mac with a single button mouse. To do so, yous can do either of the following:

  1. Press and hold the Command Key while clicking.
  2. (This one only works if yous accept a Mac with a touchpad - usually a laptop) place two fingers on the touchpad while clicking.

Promethean ActivClassroom Best Practices

DOs

  • Get the kids to the board. They should be using the pens as well! (Kids shouldn't ask, "Can I write on the board? Nosotros had 1 in my last grade, merely I never got to write on information technology"). If the kids never get to the board, information technology's not interactive for them.
  • Clean the pens (not your board!) with booze, such as germ-Ten to help reduce the spread of germs.
  • Clean a dirty activboard with either a slightly damp cloth or just a little dry-erase board cleaner (such as Expo cleaner) sprayed onto a cloth (non directly on board). (More Info).

DON'Ts

  • No abrasives: Don't clean a board with anything abrasive (per the screw-bound ActivClassRoom Grooming Series by Promethean Professional Evolution © 2009 Promethean, p. 9)
  • No alcohol: Don't clean an activboard with booze, such as germ-X (experience free to use germ-10 on the pens, though). Alcohol is a drying agent that might cause a cracking of the surface, which will reduce your ability to make clean stains and may affect the board's operation in the afflicted area.
  • No petroleum: Don't clean a board with cleaners or solvents that are petroleum-based (ibid.)
  • No scratching: If the board is scratched, it tin't be repaired. If (or should I say when) yous go a stain, the scratch volition brand it virtually incommunicable to clean and may impact the board's operation in the afflicted area.
  • No soap: Don't clean a lath with soap or detergents (ibid.)
