Computer Skills Class Advice

My advice for other computer skills classes:

DO THE HOMEWORK!
This is such an important part of the class and if you miss one you miss out on learning how to work with the taught material and your grade will suffer. I know it can take a long time sometimes but trust me you will greatly benefit if you just do it.

Also GO TO CLASS!
You will suffer greatly if you miss class because there are so many complex things that we go over and each class goes over A LOT of information. It sucks to miss class becuase then you struggle so much with the homework and work to come after it because a lot of it builds upon formerly learned material.

This class may take some time you don't want to give but I promise if you put in some effort, do the work, and come to class you will succeed!!!!
GOOD LUCK!

Websites!!!

Everyone's websites are so cool! Its really cool to learn more about people. I feel like a lot of projects we have done in this class have taught us all more about each other, its pretty amazing!
Anyways, so my top 3 favorites were:

1. Ali's page- the creativity and the designs are amazing. Her image map is so incredible, it looks professional. And the jagged edges of her text boxes on her home page. And the decreased opacity on the picture on the page representing her home in California is so beautiful. I wish I had the eye to create such amazing designs and images. 

2. Lindsey's page- I love the little animated thing in the bottom left corner its really clever and eye catching, great idea! The thumbnails of all her artwork and glasswork are amazing, such a good idea to promote her work and make them thumbnails so we could see the full size of each image.

3. Katie's page- I love all the content of her website! There are so many random things that I love on there! Its so cool to see all of Katie's friends and then her "things" page is my favorite! Oh man those desserts look so amazing my mouth was watering!

The rest of the presentations were great. Its cool to see everyone's interests!
My favorite of the final presentations was Maria's! Her pictures were so eye-catching and her information was so interesting. It was great, I was glued to the screen.
