They don’t call it a “Magic Trackpad” for nothing!
Apple’s trackpad allows Multi-Touch gestures to make navigating around Mac OS simple, intuitive, and super efficient.
For example, let’s say you want to scroll down on a webpage. Rather than moving the cursor all the way over to the side of the window to click and drag the scroll bar, you can just place two fingers on the trackpad and scroll just as you do on your iOS devices. Sure, each scroll saves just a little bit of time compared to the old method, but if you add all those moments up, we are talking about a significant chunk of your day no longer spent redundantly mousing.
And that’s just one example! Check out the Apple support document,
“Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac,” for a comprehensive guide to all the gestures you can imagine.
Adapting your workflow to the multi-touch capabilities offered by Apple’s Magic Trackpad will allow you to reclaim precious time in your day so you can have more time and energy for what matters most – working with your students.
