It may not be the scene it was in the days when Steve Jobs was unveiling iPhones on the stage at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, but Macworld Expo—now in its second year of doing business as Macworld/iWorld—remains a big deal for Mac and iOS users. For three days, it brings together the people who create Mac software and hardware with the people who rely on it to learn about new products and how to get the most out of the stuff they’re already using.

This year’s installment of Macworld/iWorld kicks off Thursday, January 31 and runs through Saturday, February 2. On this preview podcast, I’m joined by an array of Macworld editors—Christopher Breen, Dan Moren, and Lex Friedman—as they tell you what you can expect from this week’s show.

As we’ve now broken away from the holiday break, schools are back in session, which leads me to think about the schools our kids are returning to. Is much of the learning still centered on the computer lab, or have devices like the iPad brought a different kind of learning to students? To explore the question I speak with one of education’s leading lights in regard to incorporating Apple technology into the classroom, Fraser Speirs.

On the lookout for Mac and iOS products at CES

International CES is not much of a show for Mac users. (Actually, given the preponderance of 4K TVs crowding the showfloor at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the lack of stellar smartphone news, it’s becoming less of a show for PC and mobile users, too.) But look long enough and you can find a few items of interest on the acres of exhibit space that may appeal to Mac users. Broaden the criteria to include items for the iPhone or iPad, and your search becomes a lot easier.

On this week’s Macworld Podcast, I’m joined by executive editor Jonathan Seff and assistant editor Leah Yamshon. The three of us just spent a week in Las Vegas and return from CES with the balance of our wits intact and a few Mac- and iOS-friendly gadgets and apps to talk about. For the next half-hour or so, it’ll be just like you were at CES, only without the overwhelming crowds, unending walks up and down the showfloor, and exposure to several strains of norovirus.
