Snag -- can you help?

We've run across a snag in the WWI podcast project: GarageBand. We have no idea how to use it, and were mystified when we tried to figure it out. That means it's going to be that much harder to teach to a whole class of 9th and 10th graders. (Although, in reality, they could probably figure it out faster than we can.)

Has anyone out there used this program? Do you have any tips? Do you think it's user-friendly enough for students?

Apple has a wonderful series of video tutorials on how to use GarageBand to record podcasts. Take a look: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/garageband/gb3-1.html

I don't think high school students will have any problem with using the program once you get them started. We have 5th and 6th graders doing great work with it.
