First Friday Back!

Good Morning and Happy Friday!  It really doesn't matter to me what Friday it is, Friday's are good days!! Today we are going to take a moment and make sure we are all on track before we move forward into week 2 of the 2015-16 school year - can't have anyone falling off the ship before the first week is over!

Today I am making time for you to do the following:

1. Ensure all blog posts are complete
1. Title
2. Image
3. Thorough Post
2. In particular your second blog, the one entitled "Blog Post Day 2 - August 19th!" is very important.  While I know the majority of you did not complete the blog that day, remember, we said "to be continued" I am going to ask you to go back and make an edit on it today.  Under where you wrote "to be continued" before class ends today I would like you to post an image of what you have done so far with your inDesign project.
3. Finally, before leaving today, please ensure you have successfully set up your Schoology account for access to assignments and that you are logging into your computer using your student id.  Also - never forget to save your work in your "home" drive.
4. Register for "Reading Partners" if this is something you might be interested in: https://goo.gl/rlpzHd

Here are a few helpful hints if your stuck on something:

• Have an extra blog you don't want anymore that might be confusing you?
• Next to the blog you want to delete, select Settings from the drop-down.
• Select Settings.
• Under “Settings” on the left side of the page, click Other.
• Go to "Blog tools" - it's at the very top of the page
• Click Delete this blog.
• Remember to always hit new post - the orange pencil when you are getting started in my class
• Want to simply edit the post you didn't finish to add the image I'm talking about?
• You can edit your posts by clicking on "Posts" from the drop-down menu on your Dashboard.
• From there, click the "Edit" link next to the post you'd like to edit
• That will take you to the posting form, which includes all posts you've written that are either published or saved as drafts. When you're done editing, you can click Preview to see what your post will look like on the blog, or go straight to Publish.
• Finally, need a reminder on how to take a screen shot on your pc.
• Open Snipping Tool by clicking the Start button (it might be in the dock at the bottom of your screen)
• Click the New button, select Rectangular Snip and then select the area of your screen that you want to capture.
• Save the file and upload it to your blog!
