Web Browser
Free Download (and probably already installed… what exactly are you reading this with?)

Communication, research, publication…
iMovie
Free online at the Mac App Store
Check to make sure you don’t already have it installed — a lot of new Macs come with iLife (including iMovie) pre-installed.
Creating and editing videos
Garageband
Free online at the Mac App Store
Check to make sure you don’t already have it installed (like iMovie).
Recording and editing audio
Audacity (Optional)
