Week 10 Mar.27

Mid-term Troubleshooting

To do today

There are three major task for today. The first task is to do mid-term trouble-shooting on your eportfolio web site. You will review all your projects and the reading reflections and make sure all the projects and reflections are complete in a well-rounded manner. The second task is to reflect on the teaching and learning experience of the previous weeks and provide suggestions for the future weeks. The third task is to form up groups and get ready for Project#6, Microsoft Publisher. To cultivate your self-learning ability, the instructor will teach as little as possible and provide you chances to learn new software - in this case, MS Publisher by yourself and through working in groups. So bring with you a positive mood to learn and work in groups.
