For locations and hours, go to Computing Sites.
IMPORTANT! The campus computing sites might have newer
versions of Photoshop and Flash. If so, save your work in a lower version
you can open in our classroom.
The campus computing labs do NOT have Soundslides. You can download
a free demo version on your own computer.
To log onto the Cronkite server from the places above, here’s

JOYS AND WOES OF COMPUTERS
- Everything will take longer than you think it will.
- Celebrate the joy and prepare for the probable woe.
We’ll have problems with both hardware and software. Be prepared
to compensate or work around the shortcomings.
- Have a positive attitude.
Have an open mind. Be willing to experiment. Imagine
possibilities and solutions. You’ll probably get anxious,
frustrated and maybe angry. These are legitimate feelings people
experience when dealing with computers and new software. The best
way to learn is by experimenting. By troubleshooting your own technical
problems, you’ll empower
yourself if you approach technology positively.

- Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
Everyone needs help and support. Things change so quickly and there’s
so much to learn that no one can know everything. What we cover in
class is only a beginning. Keep in mind that you have to learn to
walk before you can run. You’ll see lots of cool things on the
Web that are beyond the scope of this class.
- Practice as much as possible.
- Learn by doing.
You all have varying levels of skills and experience with Macs, HTML,
Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash. You also have different ways of learning
technology (and at differing speeds). To learn how to use a piece of
software, I’ll do a brief demo, then you’ll try it. You
might find it useful to read the help screens or buy a book.
- Help each other whenever possible.
The best way to learn is by showing someone else so long as it doesn’t
interfere with your learning and your progress.
- Learning is a process.
I don’t expect perfection from you or from myself. We all make
mistakes. That’s how we learn and grow. I don’t expect you
to be a Web whiz. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
- Please give me constructive feedback on how to make the class
better for you.
