My dreams of podcasting came to a halt when it took me an hour to edit a podcast my students did. The school district I work for implemented a ton of new initiatives and podcasting slid down from number 2 to number 100 on the priority list. But it is now summer and I am refreshed. So much so I bought a new Mac Mini. Thanks to Microcenter in Cincinnati I saved $200 over what I would pay here in Memphis. My children and husband have already started playing with  Garage Band. They’ve plugged in their guitars and recorded some tracks. I just read a review about Comic Life and Comic Life Magic that’s got me excited all over again. I want to bring the student’s stories to life and I was looking for a comic strip maker. Apple seems to score again with a user friendly, simple to use, awesome product making app. I can’t wait to dive in.
