Resources Organized by Chapter
The purpose of this newsletter is to give you a place to find extra resources not found in the content. As well, all Adobe sessions will be organized here with a description of what was covered.
Tips & Tricks for Online Learning
- Keep a notebook organized by chapter
- Take thorough notes and practice on paper.
- Try the self-check problems at the bottom
- Email me if you are confused on how to solve a problem
- Remember that quizzes & tests are timed so be sure you give yourself enough time to finish when you open it! Once it is opened you must complete it!
- You must show your work on the Worksheet/Assignments. The apps Genius Scan or Cam Scanner are free and will let you take a picture of your document and convert it to a PDF to upload. Or you can type your responses!
