ReplyDelete1) Most Macs running OS 10.8 Mountain Lion now have access to Power Nap. This feature allows the computer to wake itself in order to run updates, check for mail, and even back up the computer using Time Machine. The computer is able to preform this without waking any of the fans or turning on any lights.
ReplyDelete2) I am a great GenYES Bar leader due to the fact I always address teachers in a respectful and considerate tone. I have extensive experience with the Mac software as well as the Apple laptops, considering I own a MacBook of my own. I am able to quickly diagnose most problems seen, and know of solutions off the top of my head requiring minimal additional resources.

This a awesome and great innovation for macbook's
ReplyDelete2. As a Genyes Bar leader I would be a great leader by teaching and helping others with technology for those in need and I would also be able to help and lead teachers on a technological journey that will make their minds explode into a million tiny pixels of information about technology. I would have fun doing this job but it would also be a very serious job and i would act professional by leading and telling others to act professionally.
3. Done.
2. I would help the teachers with printer problems any computer screen problems and with any problems including broken screens and blank projections and sound problems. I would also be a great leader by showing leadership by helping others with tech problems such as not being able to type or project on a projector and to also help students with any questions they have such as the wifi password and any other needs.
Delete1.) os x mountain lion will help teachers with their macbooks because of multitouch it will simplify how the teachers use their macbooks and interface to help move lessons and teaching sessions along.

ReplyDeleteTheres a fingerprint scanner for the macbook pro? can you show me how to do it? I've never seen it before.
Delete1. The Macbook Pro has stacks which is a dock item that give you fast access to a folder and when you click on a stack the files come out from the dock in a grid or fan.
ReplyDelete2. I'm a good leader because i would keep things perfect, organized, and I would make sure everything is going as it should. I also would make sure the teachers that bring in their computers will get the tech support that they need for their computers to work when they need them back. If the teachers need their computer to work with something in class than I would take them back to their room and fix the problem in class.
3. Done
1.The new macs have a great full screen app changing using the touch pad. It can also put windows into full screen. It is similar to changing tab but enabling quick window change which is incredible nice.
ReplyDelete2. I love to just go in and help out and have been able to find the problem pretty fast in most apps. I can't say I am a good speaker though. I have used a great amount of apps on macs and apples and can help teacher with my new genyes experience.

1. ctrl -shift-3 = take a screen shot ctrl -shift-3 = take a screen shot
ReplyDeleteThis is a really helpful trick that would allow you to put screenshots in videos and in instruction guides.It's very helpful to know how to screenshot.
2. I would make sure everyone is busy. Everyone who is with me would have an assigned job. I would have anyone who needs help to sign in, report their device, and their problem. They will watch as GenYes member operates and fixes their computer. This way, they will be able to know what the problem is. Also, since the user is watching, the object won't get stolen or lost. If you are to lave and help with a problem, make sure someone is managing the station.
3. Done (I even helped through-out the day to several people and teachers who needed it, this included Spanish lab room, English, and Math. Steven and I helped my math teacher set-up her computer to a math printer. But yes, I'm done.
1. In most apps on the MacBook , you can highlight any word and hold down Command-Control-D to get a pop-up definition from OS X's built-in dictionary. Some third-party apps don't support this feature though.
ReplyDelete2. I'm leading my team to GenYES Bar and there is a line of teachers in front of the bar. We all sit down, I tell my team that if they need any help whatsoever and I will aid them and continue to assist the teachers. As we work, we make no mistakes and handle every problem in the most professional way. The lines start dying down as we answer their questions. Some of my teammates start having some troubles answering certain questions, but luckily, I was there to help them along because I'm so professional and smart after seeing all of the GenYES websites. Our time at the bar ends and we walk away feeling accomplished with what we had done for everyone. I congratulate my team and we ride out into the sunset, hair blowing in the wind with our whole lives ahead of us. I now have a total of two hundred words for this blog now, hurrah.

1. Mac OS X offers a simple way to see what's on your desktop when you have a lot of windows open. By pressing F9, your computer uses Expose to create thumbnails of all the open windows and displays them neatly on the screen.
ReplyDelete2. I am a good leader who works well with his peers. My goal is to help as much as my knowledge will permit. I have a good knowledge of computers and will stay on task to help as many teachers as I can. I would take this job seriously and would make sure their problem was solved to their satisfaction.

3. done
1. Multi-Touch makes it so you can navigate the computer and do special commands with the mouse area. It helps you do special commands that would usually take longer without the navigation of Mission Control.
ReplyDelete2. I would make sure that everyone is on task, and have people work on multiple things. I would makes sure that nothing goes wrong and help everyone possible. I wouldn't mess around and take this serious as i would take a job. I work well with others and I am very tolerant of others. If a teacher comes up to me and asks me for help with their projector, I would do anything in my power to help the teacher. I even proved to the whole class that I could hook up Mrs. K's macbook to the projector.
3. Done, I entered Garett and myself into lunch for Thursday.
1. You can look up a definition in a right click and you will be able to look up any word in the dictionary. If you right click the word you want to search it will pop up with a lot of other options but around the middle there will be a "Look Up in Dictionary" button.
ReplyDelete2.If I was at the Genyes Bar i would be a leader in sighing in to the internet and other options
3.done
1. It uses flash as its storage technology. The retina display is built around flash, I'm sure the retina display has already been explained. Flash is the fastest and supposedly the most reliable storage technology today. It gives this new macbook more power, making it more capable in what it can do.
ReplyDelete2. I am a very motivated tech student and will try and do what I can to help at the GenYES Bar. I am able to help with most tech problems that has to do with the new mac books. I have learned much more than I had before and am learning as I go. I will keep whoever is with me on task at the bar and create a place to be able to fix most tech problems.
3. Done.
Fixed it.
DeleteIs that better?
1.)One of the cool things that this computer has is that it has new setting for the touch pad, like if you put two fingers on ad slide it goes to the other page you have open and if you use four fingers and slip them into each other and it will take you to a mission control and you can do lots of stuff in there! I like the mouse pad thing a lot because it's fun and you find more and cool things with it.
ReplyDelete2.)I am a nice tech student and I will help anybody who needs tech support I will try my best to help and if I fail at helping I will ask for more help to learn and to teach other people what I learn so they know! I really like helping people so they can learn and not have many problems any more. If they still have problems I will teach them more and more.
3.) Done
1.) The new computers that are used by teachers run on Microsoft office 11, and the old one ran on Microsoft office 4. This new software is helpful and necessary for the computers but at the same time this software can be confusing to some people who don't know much about it.
ReplyDelete2.) I would help people within my ability and will try even if I don't know too much about it I will try it anyways and learn about it in the process and I would try to help every one with the technology at the GenYes Bar
3.) Done
the launch pad has all the apps so there not all on your dock or desktop so i think its cool and gives you more space
ReplyDeletei would tell people what to do when they need to do it but still try to be nice and help the customers with what they need help with.
done.
1. Apple has put a HDMI port on there computers allowing you to Display in HD on a TV or monitor. I posted this because this is the first time I've seen this on a mac. With the regular Macbook Pro (non-retina) you can change out the lousy 5400 rpm hard drive for a nice SSD. If I had a Macbook that would be the first thing I would do.
ReplyDelete2. I am a great learner helper and leader and know a lot about macs and how they operate. I am able to transfer files from one computer to another and change the display settings etc.
3. Done
1) Apple has made it possible to customize your multi-gesture system, so you can set a certain gesture to open up launch pad. This could be very useful if you have many applications running, and you want to quickly get to another application.
ReplyDelete2) You can be at ease if you have a computer problem and you're at the GenYES bar with me. I work well with others, and I'm really good at cracking down what's wrong. I'm really good at making sure certain parts work, hooking up projectors and speakers, swapping files from one computer to the next, and setting up printers. If any of my peers has any issues, I do everything I ca to help them out. Most problems should be resolved within minutes. Although, even if the tasks are lengthy, I assure you they will be finished.
3) Done
1.) A neat trick is pressing command click, this will load what you clicked in a new tab. This is very helpful, especially if you are a lazy person.
ReplyDelete3.) Done
1.) Mac OSX allows you to search file types in finder by typing in "find: ", this is useful when searching for a school document; instead of search every file, it will only search for .doc files.
ReplyDelete2.) Hello. I am Anthony Novoa, and I will be assisting you today with your tech support needs. You can always trust me with your equipment. I have shown SMHS GenYES and other programs in and outside the school, strong reputation that is above all others. I will get the job done with excellence, quality, and speed in the fraction of time others could. I also provide efficient tutorials that will teach you how to manage your tech, so you are prepared for the next, and my GenYES history supports that.
3.) Done
Did not post correctly: *updated- Mac OSX allows you to search file types in finder by typing in "find: ", this is useful when searching for a school document; instead of search every file, it will only search for .doc files.
Delete1. Many people know about the trackpad's ability to open command center and provide quick navigation through swipes but a small but useful feature many people don't know about is the ability to click simply by tapping the trackpad rather than clicking the actual buttons themselves. This feature can be easily accessed by opening your system preferences then to "Trackpad on your Apple laptop" and checking the box next to "Tap to click".
ReplyDelete2. My constant yearning for knowledge and information will aid me greatly in being an amazing leader, tech support agent and professional by allowing me to educate myself in the fields people need help in an give me a better understanding of those I am leading.
3. Done
1. YEAH! Cool tricks that the Macbook pro can do! I feel like most of the common stuff are taken because of how late I am. And i'm pretty sure that myself and Ms. K will be the only ones reading this cause I almost 90% sure that no other student reads through the blog after they finish it. This can be found in the fact that no body ever comments on a different persons blog, I mean they might while they are currently writing their blog but after the finish they close out and don't reopen it till the next week. I like the handy trick in a mac where you can't copy or delete or move a file while within an application. I guess the general Mac user does not need this function and thus they do not provide it. Don't you just love the fact that Apple cares for our every need?
ReplyDelete2. Well the first thing I would do in my new job as an GenYES Bar Genius is to have a fancy plate that sits on the desk with the description. "Hayden Warner, Leader of all that is GenYES and in charge of all subordinates such as Freshman and Sophomores" Doesn't it have a lovely ring to it? Just makes you feel all cheerful and bright inside knowing that Hayden is in control of the SMHS Genyes program at Shadow Mountain High School. This in itself should prove that no one reads these after they leave, if you read this comment "Heil Hayden" or something of the latter just to prove you have actually read the blog of weeks past and comprehend the ludicrous blog post I have just very well written. However in all reality I would be a wonderful leader as a leader who leads with an air about him of leadership.
Wow... You have a way with words that just give me cancer.
DeleteI think you put too much cinnamon on your toast!
Delete1. i think the coolest feature that this new laptop has to offer is its power new operating system. OS X Mavericks is the new operating system that these laptops will run on, it is fast streamline and incredible powerful which is needed for the everyday busy teacher.
ReplyDelete2. well i would b calm and collected, as we know being a tech support agent can be very stressful and irritating depending on the person you are dealing with its all about being patient

ReplyDelete1.) a great thing that the new mac software has is that it has a launchpad so you can have all your apps all in one place and not in your dock or on your desktop the old software dose not have this they have a dashboard which shows your widgets not your apps. something else that is cool is the notifications bar you can open it by clicking on he icon in the upper right hand corner its cool because you don't have to check on a bunch of different programs you can just see them all right there and right then.
ReplyDelete2). i would be a great leader because i would be productive yet friendly happy to serve
3.) done!
1) the touchpad in the mouse is a cool new feature. it makes it easier to navigate throughout the Mac. it can be used to scroll pages, zoom in and out, open the notification bar and much more features that can be turned on and off in the settings.
ReplyDelete2) I would be a good leader because once i am dedicated to finishing something there are very few things that can get in my way as far as getting me to quit. and i would pass that motivation to the people around me.
3)bueno
1. I really hope no one has mentioned the HDMI port because thats what I'm going to talk about. The new Macs have an HDMI port which is an easy way to connect it to any other HDMI device such as Blu-ray players or maybe a portable screen for your Xbox? Its possible. Seems far fetched and not needed but it might be kind of cool. It would also help with Machinima purposes.
ReplyDelete2. Being calm is the key. You must very slow with them too and above all else, always look like you know what your talking about even if you don't.
3. Already did it
1.) The templates on the Microsoft Office program are preexisting ones, but you can edit them. Yep. Meaning I don't have to take the time and make a whole one, but just edit one so it'll be faster. I think.
ReplyDelete2.) I think I'll be an okay leader at the Genius Bar. I mean, its my first year and all, and I don't have that much experience in this class. But I do find myself especially kind and helpful to teachers and students around the campus when they need my help...
