Mac Class is in Session

Mac Class is in Session
Apple has spun off the personal training component of its in-store, subscription ProCare program into its own separate program called, One to One. For $99 per year, ProCare specialists will still help you set up, backup or repair your computer anytime you walk into an Apple Store. One to One is an additional $99 per year and lets you design a custom, one-on-one, multi-session curriculum around your Mac. The 11 course offerings are for everyone from the luddite to the advanced user and are as follows:
  • Getting Started on your Mac
    The basics: The Mac people hand-hold you through setting up preferences and connecting to the Internet.
  • Mac 101
    Learn how to e-mail, instant message and video chat.
  • iPod + iTunes
    Import your CDs into iTunes. Then, learn how to make Apple even richer by getting schooled on the iTunes Store.
  • Digital Photography
    Apple teaches you how to take better snaps, how to share them with iPhoto and how to use Aperture.
  • Building your own Website
    If you don't already have your own blog, now's your chance to.
  • Podcasting
    Learn to record podcasts, jazz them up with sound effects and share them on the Web.
  • Moviemaking
    Turn your video camera's contents into professional looking stuff using iMovie and Final Cut.
  • Music Making
    Finally record your rendition of Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love," by learning the ins and outs of GarageBand.
  • Getting Started with Apple TV
    Macsters guide you through the setup of Apple TV.
  • Present and Publish
    Learn to use Mac's answer to PowerPoint.
  • Open Project
    This one is up in the air. Come in with photos, movies sketches and whatever else, and your Mac sensei will help you figure out what to do with it all.
How long before that know-it-all "I'm a Mac" kid starts shaming poor John Hodgman about all this?
