How to Use Tech

Log On & Log Off
First, you should log on to a computer in a classroom (lab), using your Enterprise ID and PW. If you have any problem related to your ID or PW, you need to talk to the staff in G8 and ask for help. I am sorry I do not have any power to solve the technology problem!
Second, during class, sometimes your computer use will be blocked, if necessary. However, I think you are mature enough to know what you are expected to do in class with the computer. So, please do not make me use the blocking function too much. Also, I can see you what you are doing on your computer even though I am not physically close to you. I can monitor every single computer in front. I really do not want to be so mean! I need your help :)
Third, please LOG OFF when you leave the room. If you do not log off, your files and information will be exposed to somebody else in the following class. Logging off is for yourself and the next user of the computer. If your friend forgets to do it, please remind him or her.

All of the materials used for lessons will be on this Blogger.
It is a decent idea to bookmark this blog or add your favorites.
For some unfortunate or unexpected reasons, hopefully, which I hope never happens,
if you are absent, it is your responsibility to check what has been covered for the lesson you missed.
Lessons will be posted before classes, and they will be in the order we cover, from top to bottom.

Google Drive / Google Docs
https://drive.google.com/
This is the major tool you will be using for this course.
*Most* of your daily homework and major assignments will be submitted through Dropbox.
If you have never used it, or if you do not have an account, please ask me before or after class.
You will be using this during class for individual, pair or group works.
I am not saying that we use this everyday, but you should be able to handle this.
If you have never used this, it is better to try out and play with this.
Some of you might know that you can also download Google Drive to your laptop, just like Dropbox.
It is entirely up to you how you use it. However, there might be some process-based homework which should be saved on Google Drive. Also, all the class works will be saved there and shared with you.

This is not a required tool for the class. However, this can be an option when you have oral presentation at the end of this course. If possible, you can explore and practice a little bit so that you do not freak out when you are preparing your presentation later. Of course, you can use Powerpoint Presentation. This is just an option!
