With hubby and Tucker about to be going back to school, we are already in that ‘Back to School’ mode. Most people may think about Back to School with things like backpacks, crayons, khaki pants, lunch box and those busy school schedules. Well, school items go much deeper than just papers and zippered backpacks for those heading off to Elementary School. What about the older crowd that is about to head off to College? I read about Apple’s Back-to-School offer and I have to share this with you all!
Buy a Mac with your education discount and get a free iPod touch. This offer is for current and incoming college students, as well as faculty and staff for all education levels. And, parents buying for their college-age kids can take advantage of it, too. For college graduates, now is a great time to take advantage of their education discount before leaving school!
I have had my eye on a new MacBook Pro. I drool at the sight of the MacBook! My poor computer is on its last leg (literally), so when I saw this offer, I immediately thought of our home. Hubby is a teacher and we are both in classes online and in out of town classrooms, so this would suit us perfectly! There are a lot of parents out there that are about to send their kids off to college and they are sure to need a new MacBook, get a free iPod touch and take advantage of keeping in touch with their families with the built in iSight camera!
Send him/her off with a new MacBook Pro, its built-in iSight camera and iChat, and even a free iPod touch. You’ll be able to keep in touch easily whether he/she is a short drive away or across the country, and with a One-to-One subscription for only $99, you get the peace of mind of knowing that a local Apple Store can help him/her with everything from initial setup to personal projects for class.
We have an iPod touch that we all use in our home, and on the go. I learned so much about all that you can do with the iPod touch, about iTunes, about all the fun things that I can do, hubby and the kids (ages 2 & 5). With all that I learned, I decided to buy an iPad a couple of months ago and we are all able to explore even more apps! With more than 225,000 apps, the App Store has an amazing amount of education-focused selections for any age ready download. I had no idea that iBooks has more than 60,000 titles that can be read on iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Can you guess where I will be looking for my new titles now? I had no idea they had eBooks!
Looking to fill that brain with some knowledge? iTunes U is an area of the iTunes Store featuring lectures, course materials and more from many of the world’s most prestigious education institutions. Everything can be downloaded to an iPod or iPhone for learning on the go, and it’s all free. Free? Free! It’s also hugely popular and recently crossed over 250 million downloads.
You still have time to take advantage of this amazing offer! Apple’s Back-to-School promotion runs through September 7, 2010.
