Borderlands is on its way – I have almost all of my contributors stuff. I am just missing a poem and a picture. I am modifying my Borderlands comix for the newspaper. I am going to put together a composite piece that updates the work I did in the summer. (Update is a positive word for situations that have not improved at all since I addressed the issues!!) I did a bunch of very expensive colour copying and I am transcribing a couple of the pieces because my printer is not working yet (I have the cartridges I just need to put them in). My Web Page program says I can import things in three ways – from files, from scans, and from direct word processing. I am going to try to use my own images not a gallery, and I am going to retrieve those images in three ways – from a DVD or CD; from scanned pictures; and from pictures sent to my desktop by friends, etc. It seems fairly straightforward the only problem I have is that I do not actually know the procedures but I will talk my way through as I get to each and hopefully it will come together!!
I wrote another online exam for my other media studies class on Thursday and even though I gave myself 4 hours to write the exam it took me over 6. I was late posting (again!!!) and I did not know the correct procedures for posting to my instructor thru the WEBCT and so I ended up sending him an attachment in a personal e-mail just to be sure that I got the exam there. I also had to put the exam in a format I had not used before – I had to turn it to RTF – a rich text file- I have heard of them and even received them but I had never made one and I am proud of myself that I learned how to do it without asking my room mate for help.
Next semester I am taking advantage of the technology workkshops offered by the moodle guys at Malaspina. Last semester, they gave workshops on web site creation and design and powerpoint – both of which I had to learn to use as part of my media studies courses.
Hindsight is always better – if only I could time travel!! Oh well to work.
