art teacher mac tools
Dear Liste friends, I will be taking a part-time position as an art teacher at a local private school, after Christmas. I have found an art ed yahoo group and I need mac advice and translations...like tech words that we rightbrainers don't have... One teacher, a macuser too, explains how she uses her pb, powerpoint for notes and the internet as visual support, especially when discussing art history, works and artists. art teacher writes to me At 9:26 AM -0500 9/21/05, Tina wrote: Kristina, Well, I'm going to give this a shot. Tech part isn't my thing either. I have a cable that I was told about from the nice man at apple (phone call).

I do know that it has a round port which attaches to the laptop as the OUT and then the other end goes into the TV on the video port. As for the technical name, call apple and explain this to them. That is how I got my information. It is truly a wonderful thing to have. All my teachers are jealous because I use it all the time. I even prepare my lessons on power point or just word and then can bring them up on to the screen. It helps with them taking notes etc. I also was very fortunate to have a big TV with a big screen. This helps too. Let me know what you find out. I'm anxious to know what the name of the cable is called. If I get anymore info I'll pass it along. Keep in touch.

Re: art teacher mac tools
The TV output on a Mac PowerBook is a round multi-pin connector for S-video. If your TV has an S-video input, you can get an S-video to S-video cable and you are in business. If your TV only has separate video and sound input connectors, you need a cable with a converter.

Re: art teacher mac tools
IIRC, the S-Video cable has the same pin connector as the Apple ADB cable. You could try one of those if the school has any old macs or Apple IIGS's hanging around. Be aware tho that a lot of ADB cables didn't have very good shielding. Later..Howard -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
