- Skills Training
- We begin with thee four skills listed below. Each Skills Training
page contains screencasts, guides, and tasks to complete.
It will probably take an hour or more to complete each skills training
page. Take your time, help each other, ask me questions when you're
confused and don't get too stressed or frustrated if you don't
understand things at first. Developing these skills takes time and
practice. You may begin with whichever skill looks most
interesting to you.
- Desktop Management
- Social Bookmarking with Delicious.com
- Image Editing
- Activity
Creation
Several of the skills training tasks ask you to attach a file to a blog post.
To do so, click file attachments, Browse, and Attach.
Please do NOT email assignments to me.
