Project #1

Welcome to Photo 11-12 every one! This semester will be very busy so it is very important that we all work together. The first task that you will be doing is building a blog. The Blog is a communication tool that links you to me. All projects you do will be uploaded to this blog. I will mark all your projects on your blog. As a procautionary measure make sure you save your projects to my documents or on your flash drive. There are no exscuses for not having your work saved some where. (do not save your work to my pictures on the computer)   There will be times when you have questions regarding the technology that I may not be able to answer and there may be times where you can answer my questions. I will do my best if I don't know the answer to find it out for you. But you will have to be patient. Many of the programs we will be using this year are new to me as well. The following are a list of expectations for this semester - Arrive on time with a good attitude.
