IT 111 Week 5 Podcast - Spring 2008

This screen snapshot is what I'm calling my "15 minutes of fame" because I'm the featured educator in a newsletter from the software company that I use for making the tutorials and demos for our class. So far, I've been contacted by someone from Ireland and Washington State. I couldn't resist sharing this with you.

This weeks podcast has some announcements and a brief overview of Chapter 4 and Assignment 4. I'll also be producing a special podcast at the end of the week after I attend a conference at Microsoft. Listen to the podcast to find out why! By the way, I'm giving presentations on podcasting and screencasting at the conference. I'm also giving a three hour workshop at a conference in Spokane. So, this is a busy week for me.

IT 111 Week 4 Podcast - Spring 2008

This week's podcast has an announcement, a brief discussion of my communication style and grading strategy, and tips for Assignment 3. You'll be learning about web safe colors and using CSS to format color and text in this assignment.

The screen snapshot is of the W3Schools CSS reference page. It lists all the common properties used in CSS and I encourage you to bookmark or favorite it. I find it an extremely handy list and refer to it on a regular basis. Please check it out!
