Digging in Deeper

Ok, I tried to share a lot less info today and let you explore more. The next two days will go by very quickly! So, the main question for today is - are you planning on just applying what you've seen so far, or is there more you'd like me to show? I also have some notes for a few additional quick handouts on (such as adding sounds to PowerPoint or making .gif animations in Photoshop). Not making any promises (I only have so many hours to do it!), are there others I should be thinking about?

Thanks!

Sipping water from a firehose

Ok, that was a ton of information about a fairly (at times) confusing piece of software. Just remember that we have several more days to try out those parts that you are most interested in using!

I expect to do more small group and individual instruction over the next three days. What were the most important things you learned today? What would you be most interested in covering tomorrow?

First Day

Well, that day went fast!

Instead of using a journal this week, I thought we'd try using the blog. Take just a minute to write down either something important that you learned today, something you know that you want to learn in the next day or so, or both if you feel really motivated.

Welcome to Multimedia Construction Zone!

Thank you for joining me for a week of multimedia exploration. This is a very project-oriented class, so it will be a very active five days.

I am going to use this blog as a central point for thoughts, comments, and resources for the class. I'll continue to add to it during the week based on the topics and ideas that we cover. It will stay up until next summer, so you can always return to it if you lost a link to an online resource.

I won't repeat everything I told you during the introduction. I'd like to know more about what your hoping to do with multimedia when you get back to school. Take a moment to click on the "Comments" button in the lower right corner of this post, and tell me (and your classmates) something about your multimedia hopes and aspirations.
