Tip, Trick, or Tut
Each of us is responsible for feeding the class some practical help on some aspect of the software/interface tools we're using. There's no time like the present to get serious about sharing what you know with the class.
Your Task
- Pick one of our tools (Blogger, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Mediawiki). Identify something interesting, important, or cool that you discovered or learned. Write up the cool feature as a tip, trick, or tutorial so someone else can learn from it.
Here are some ideas:
- Can you control the youtube videos coming into your blog using the Gadgets? Why would you do this? How can you do this?
- How might you separate a page from its Dreamweaver template and customize it so it becomes a home page that is distinct from (and visually connected to) the other pages on the site?
- Is there a cool Photoshop tool that we're not yet talking about? What's the tool and how might it be used?
- "Write up" your tip, trick, or tut in step-by-step fashion. Options:
- Write a text-based tutorial, and consider relevant screen captures from the tool.
- Make a video tutorial or screencast
- Give the class a brief, 3-5 minute lesson on the tip, trick, or tut
- Add the tutorial to the Portfolio area of your website
