IT 111 Week 2 Podcast - Fall 2008


This short video (8 minutes and 41 seconds) covers the 4 most important rules for XHTML documents. I hope you'll watch it before you start working on the Chapter 2 Assignment.

The Week 2 podcast includes some general course information and some tips for the Chapter 2 Assignment which is the first coding assignment. I'm sure you're all anxious to get started creating web pages. Make sure to give yourself enough time to complete it. And, remember what Lisa said in the interview. Work every day and don't wait till the last minute to do the assignment.

IT 111 Week 1 Podcast Fall 2008

Welcome to the first Fall quarter podcast for IT 111. I've used this podcast to explain how I use podcasting in our class, to make a few announcements, and to give you some quick tips on the intro assignment and quiz which are due on Thursday, Sept. 25.

My use of Meebo, an instant messaging tool, is one of the announcements. If I'm online and willing to get questions, the Meebo window on the course home page will show that I'm online. You can type a quick message into the window and hit the Enter or Return key and I'll get your message. I should respond right away unless I've stepped away from my computer. Make sure you include your name in your message so I know who I'm communicating with.
