    Hi,
    In addition to what Ken said, I would suggest that you give Edge Animate a shot as well.
    Creative Cloud is available as trial version for 30 days and almost all creative software is bundled with the Creative Cloud. Tutorials are included for each of the products on the respective sections of the website. For instance, this site Website builder | Download free Adobe Dreamweaver CC trial gives you access to the trial version as well as tutorials.
    I suggest that you go to http://creative.adobe.com and explore the various options available.

  • Discount for High school students

    I think it's really cool that college students get discount for spotify but it would be great if high school students could get the same thing , it would be amazing to being playing music wherever we want for a low price and since I find spotify better than pandora. $5 is extremely affordable for high school students and a lot would sign up for that price if that was an option

    I am 17 and currently attending highschool as a senior.
    I agree 100% $9.99 per month is kind of steep when you have a $9.10 /h job and paying for gas/insurance/food/housing/etc... I don't have anything handed to me at all. Sure my parent's will buy me a see's candy once in a while, but I am paying for most of my things now. My job pays for ~~ 90% - 95% of my necesities. that would leave me short. 
    Here is a pitch:
    Mind of a teenager ~ 10 dollars per month would add up to 120$ per year I use this.... that's a problem.
    -after the fact-
    Mind of a teenager ~ $5 per month!! omg that's only $60 per year! sure I'll pay for that.
    Honestly I would garentee you my 5$ per month if I had access to premium. $10 is just too much.
    I can tell you that I know many highschoolers who would agree with my point and say that the sales would be exponential.
    talking business:
    I would expect (based on comments and suggestions from friends and information of who I know as a highschool would also subscribe) expecting 30,000 highschoolers per small state and 50,000 highschoolers per large state.
    currently to me it seems only 5,000 or 10,000 highschoolers per state own spotify. (most people lie about information on "free sites")
     

  • Promotion for high school students?

    Is there any promotion or sale for High School students? How does it work? Thanks.

    The back to school promotion is for college students or teachers of any grade.  The easiest way of thinking about it is that you have to be 18 to take part in pretty much any sort of sales promotion.  That rules out most high school students.

    Reqirements: Not Allowed iPad Mini must be full sized, 4th Gen or air, runs IOS 7 apps (Compatible with IOS 7) Fast internet browsing.
    What Sized GB is recomended?
    P.S Mac 1 Site is a place for purchasing, wollongong.  http://www.mac1.com.au/
    Thankyou, Domi24

    What type of school are you going for; what are the requirements you are going to be allowed to run. How long are you keeping the iPad?
    If it's light use and only for research purposes, a low GB would be fine
    If you plan to use it to store content and school related infomation a 32 may be needed
    If you need to create videos; or store larger files 64GB
    128? That's heavy use....Need more details on WHAT YOU need.

  • Pro vs Air for high school?

    Hi, I'm currently in year 10 and my new school has a 'bring your Own device' program. Im considering the MacBook Pro or Air but am undecided. I like the fact th air is light, as I will have to carry it around. I also need a long battery life, for school. I want to be able to do my research and school work and well as social things like Facebook and music etc. I'm leaning more to the air but the more I read around the more confused I get. I would like to be able to use it until I finish school, maybe even into university years. Any advice on which to choose would be muchly appreciated!

    either one is fine for high school.  it's a personal preference at this point.  however, if you have some idea what you would like to major in when you go to college/university-then which one you chose may make a difference.  For example, a base model Air would be fine for an English major, but a base model Air would be inappropriate for someone majoring in Architecture or Engineering.

  • Macbook or iPad for High School?

    I can't decide whether to get a macbook air or iPad for high school. (Sorry I didn't know what 'community' to put this in)

    If you have a full computer at home you can use, then an iPad would probably be a great adjunct; highly portable, fine for taking notes, doing email, doing research on the web, etc. If you don't have a computer at home now, then I'd recommend a MacBook, either the Air or the Pro. An iPad is a fine device but there are many things you can do on a full computer that you can't do, or can't do efficiently, on an iPad.
    Regards.

  • MacBook Pro or MacBook Air for high school?

    I will be going into high school in september and i am looking into getting a MacBook. I would use it for school work as well as music, games, and programs like GarageBand. What would you recommend for me: 13" MacBook Pro or 13" MacBook Air?

    If you need to have an optical drive, the base model 13" MacBook Pro is a fairly good product. Weighs a little more than the retina, costs less, and maybe less a theft magnet than the Air or MB/Pro + Retina. With an education discount or a special deals Apple refurbished store (online) price break, you could get the extended AppleCare plan to add a few years support and service coverage. With a discount of $250. that'd cover it.
    {On the other hand, if you wanted to be on a real budget, a repaired restored older MacBook core2duo with some kind of real guarantee could cost you under $400. at a company such as wegenermedia.com}
    About RAM and upgrades, be sure the model you get either has plenty of RAM or is one you can add quality RAM to once you buy it. You can look into the download database from Mactracker.ca to see specs for most Macs. Keep in mind the limits suggested on RAM for an OS X are often minimal, considering applications you may also run can double the demand. And Mavericks OS X likes RAM and plenty of hard drive capacity. An older Mac that may not have Mavericks, may do better without it. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 does rather well, and depending on other demands, Lion, Mt Lion, etc do OK, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Which is better iPad or Mac for high school students?

    I just took SHSAT and my mother promise me that I will get one that I wish if I get in. I did not want to waste that wish and use it on others wastable stuff. So I was thinking that Apple device would make great studying for me in High School. I have iMac but Macbook air is portable and ipad is portable. Both of them are really good. I don't know what to choose. If you can't decide as well, please suggest what should I get. And Please do not tell me I won't go in to spealized high school because I already have a lot of stress.

    MacBook Air is the best of both worlds.
    The instant on and fast response of an iPad, but has the full size keyboard, full OS X and expandablity of a Mac computer.
    The MacBook Air is almost as light as an iPad, but is much more flexible.

  • Audio Suggestions for Filming School Plays

    I'm trying to obtain a better quality soundtrack for my wife's school plays (she's the music teacher). They don't have much of a sound system although I can combine the music from a digital source and the audio from the microphones (for speaking parts) into one stereo mini-jack. What is missing is the general audio; that is she has 100 kids on stage at once singing and there are no omni directional mic's that can pick that up. I have a Sony SR12 set up at the back of the auditorium and the audio is atrocious from that distance (and with that equipment).
    Any recommendations? I'm looking for mic setup suggestions and recording source equipment that I can later take into Final Cut and sync with the video.
    Keep in mind as best you can that while I do love my gadgets, I don't have $2000 bucks to spend on equipment, but I want to get this as close to professional as I can.
    Thanks in Advance.

    I video school plays as well: three cams (two HDV for following actors/action, one DV to cover the whole stage); My best audio has come from using a Rode NT4 dual capsule X/Y mic in the center, and a matched pair of Rode NT5's with omni capsules hard left and right.
    The NT4 center gets good stereo and minimized the sound stage shift (left and right) as a centered actor turns his head left and right. Wide set stereo mics can have the sound stage flying all over the place as actors move their heads, but don't actually travel anywhere on the stage. The Rode needs phantom power OR a battery and plugs right into an XLR input on my HDV or DV cams. This mic pair I consider the stereo master audio track, so I use the DV camera (uncompressed PCM).
    The two omni mics set left and right are used for overall ambiance if I need to add it (lightly), enhanced stereo, and uneven volume when actors speak from hard stage left/right, or even in the wings. I use the NT5 pair because they are a good match for the NT4 capsules from an audio perspecive, and they are small. They need phantom power and plug into XLR camera input.
    The third camera only records audio for sync purposes, and I use the on camera mic.
    Newer alternative that I've only tried on a short piece, but it worked well:
    A Zoom H4n digital recorder. It has decent (not as good as the Rode's) on board mics that are in an X/Y pattern at 90 or 120 degrees (more centered / more stereo). It also has two XLR or 1/4" input jacks that can supply phantom power to external microphones. It will record all 4 tracks at once in 16 bit 48kHz uncompresed (WAV), or various compressed formats. It takes SD/HC cards, and a 8MB card (about $20 or less from Amazon) will hold hours of audio. It runs on batteries (risky or a wall wart that is included. It can mount to a camera tripod mount, and a mic stand adapter is included.
    It's cheap enough, and for many uses, the onboard X/Y mics would be fine. Our theater stage is quite large, so the outboard external mics are needed to even things out.
    Note also that I avoid whatever sound-reinforcement mics/speakers the theater wants to use. Too many ground loop issues, and reinforcement is different than audio for video. Keep your mics away from the speakers
    The Zoom is about $350 from Sweetwater.
    Then you can use your on camera mic for backup (something goes whoops, you still have sound, and you have flexibility in mic placement; the Zoom goes center, but maybe a bit back from the stage to pick up a more even sound stage; the omni l/r mics at about the same distance. Since the four tracks are two stereo pairs, you can play with delays if you get chorusing or echoing due to sound delays. But they are close enough to the audio source (the singers), that ambient echos are reduced and can be dealt with using compression, gates, etc. in FCP.
    If you want to get more serious about audio for video, there's alway Logic or ProTools depending on your needs. I have ProTools for my studio (audio only), but have only used the LT version once for a problematic HVAC noise background I need to deal with. Probably could have done it in Sound Track Pro, but I'm just more familiar with PT.
    Good Luck.

  • Flash for High School Student?

    I am an animation teacher and we might have to switch from teaching a 3D program to teaching Flash. Is this a valid program to teach high school students animation? Is this only used for gaming or is it also used in the animation world? Any recommended website references?

    flash is not a 3d modeling program. 
    it can be used to create 2d animation and to display 3d animation. 
    because of its animation capabilities, it can be used to create web, desktop and mobile games.  because of its support for a programming language (actionscript), it can be used to create web, desktop and mobile applications.
    and, my guess, is most games and apps use some programming and some of the drawing tools in flash.

  • Teaching iOS Development for High School

    The high school where I teach would like to start an iOS development course for students with no programming experience.  Thoughts or suggestions for places to start?

    iOS development involves soooo much more than learning a language.  I can't think of a worse approach for non-programmers.
    A number of my college students have told me about using scratch in high school to learn programming - it's developed by MIT and uses graphical interfaces that are easy to use.

  • Ipad vs. macbook for High Schooler

    Have a kid in high school who wanted to buy a macbook and saved long and hard to get one, but then decided to get a pad since he can use it for documents. He also got a Touch for Christmas. I thought this was an ok decision because he wanted to save the difference for future expenses, and the rep at apple supported this. I would really appreciate informed feedback if this was a totally ridiculous thing for him to do (we can return it and get the book)if it's really a neccessity but after reviewing all of the tutorials on ipad, I think it will serve his needs. Help?

    If he has access to another computer at home to which he can sync his iPad and do the real heavy work, and you, after educating yourself, think it will work, I'd say you're fine. It's lighter and has better battery life than a MacBook. I would never recommend it to someone who doesn't have another computer but as a portable adjunct, it's fantastic.

  • Backpack for High School

    I am entering high school this september, and I was hoping that someone could recommend a good backpack. I am looking for one that looks good,  has a compartment for my Macbook Pro I recently purchased as I plan on using it in school, has plenty of room for carrying textbooks and notebooks.
