Grades Updated and other Announcements

The end of the semester is quickly approaching! Here are some announcements and reminders:

1. I have finally caught with the grading, and apologize for falling behind. Please check My Grades on Blackboard to make sure you've been given proper credit for everything. Attendance is updated to April 9, and Reading Prompts are updated to Prompt #11, and all HTML exercises submitted by April 8th have been checked.

2. On the reading prompts, if you only have 1 point, it probably means you are missing a response to classmate's posting on their blog. Its possible I missed some. If so, just e-mail me and tell me which prompt #, and who you responses too.

3. HTML Exercises. I added the Assignment turn-ins for HTML Ch. 10, Ch. 13, Ch. 16, and CD01. I apologize for being late in setting the first two. Please note for CD01, this is the short "Designing for Usability" chapter available on the book's CD. There are no exercises or files to change or upload. So you'll just respond with a short answer to the question I posted under the assignment. Do not worry about exercises being late. I only count up the total number you did. And remember, you don't need to do all of them to receive the full 5 points. So its not too late to go back and do some if you got behind.

4. Next week we learn Glogster. It would save time if you can visit the site before class and create your free account (www.glogster.com). Be sure write down your username and password! Also, you may want to have some photos ready related to your book that you can include in you Glog.

5. On April 22nd, Dr. Carmen Fries will give us a Demo of Second life.

6. Our last class meeting will be on April 29. We will use that time to view and comment on each others's podcasts. We only need the last hour to present, so you'll have the first two hours, if needed, to prepare them. However, if each group is ready to go, we can finish early. The College has open labs on the first floor of the Main Building which are open 7 days a week, including space for group work. Windows Movie Maker is available in the lab.

7. You will have until May 1st to complete all other work for this class. This includes your software evaluation, and all the things needed for your blog. If you need access to the lab on that day to complete your work, please let me know.
