__How to subscribe to a podcast using i-Tunes__

There are a couple of different ways you can access i-tunes on your computer. The easiest way is to click on the magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of your computer. You can also try looking in the dock, or by going to the finder or workstation, clicking on applications and scrolling down until you see i-Tunes.

Once you open up i-Tunes you will see the option for the i-Tunes store on the left hand side (under the heading store). Click on that to open up the i-Tunes store. On the right hand side under Quick links in the i-tunes store, you’ll see an option for Power Search. Click on Power Search. You can start your search by scrolling down to podcasts under the Power Search heading. Type in what you are searching for in the description field. You might also want to narrow your search by limiting the category to education.

You can double click on the podcast to preview it. If you like the podcast you can subscribe to it. The RSS information will automatically be sent to your i-tunes library. It will appear in your library under the heading podcasts. Once you are in your Podcast library, you will need to right click and choose update podcast(or press control and click if your right click functions aren’t enabled).

To enable right clicking go under the apple and scroll down to system preferences. Choose keyboard and mouse, and then choose “tap trackpad with two fingers to allow secondary click”. Once that is enabled you can tap the trackpad with two fingers to achieve a right click.
