Like promised, here are some URLs and other tidbits that I mentioned in class and promised to put on my blog.
1. The URL to the Office of Information Technology Workshops is http://www.it.byu.edu. Click on "training" and then "courses by date."
2. Remember that everyone this week is supposed to blog and discuss the following question: "What technologies do you feel will be most valuable to your specific teaching goals, how confident do you feel in these technologies, and what kinds of lesson plans, learning activities, etc. would you use these technologies for?"
3. The direct link to this week's assignment is here. If you want to check the assignments for next week, and the week after, it may give you a better idea of where to go with your project. This week the homework is light, so start learning the technology you have to learn for this project. Don't save it to the last week or you'll be hating life!
4. Remember to zip me off an email as you start to come up with an idea and check with me to see if it's an appropriate technology (especially those of you that are not required to learn a specific technology). You can email me at rw@byu.edu.
5. If after class today you still think web design is your thang, and you want to learn more, here are some resources for you:
A good place for tutorials on Composer and other programs — http://www.fgcu.edu/support/
A good site on web design, from a graphic artist perspective — http://mundidesign.com/home.html
Another good site on web design — http://www.people.memphis.edu/~kjob/wbi/Index.html
There are, I'm sure, many much better websites on web design and many better tutorials for Composer. Do a search on Google and you'll find lots. Let me know if you find one you really like and I'll add it to my blogroll.
