This schedule might change at any time as circumstances change.
Even though you will not be on campus, we will be assigning work for you to do. Here is how you can prepare.
- Send me an email at mbrautigam@metroed.net from your home email that you check daily (or constantly). That is the best way for us to stay in touch. This is your first assignment and it is mandatory.
- Make sure that you have unrestricted access to a computer where you can do a lot of work. It doesn't matter whether the computer is a Mac or a PC. But it should be a computer you can use a lot, at least 2–3 hours per day. It may not work if this is also your parent's work computer.
- Make sure you have access to your Google Docs account from home, because you'll be doing a lot of writing.
- Install Brackets on the computer so you can write web page code. You'll be making a web page out of your resume and adding it to your portfolio. Brackets runs on both Mac and PC. The web site is something like brackets.io.
- You can get a one-month free trial of Adobe Illustrator. Wait until I give you an Adobe Illustrator assignment; don't download it now.
- If you have a Mac you can download Xcode to your computer and work on the Personality Quiz, then be ready to start selected lessons from Unit 4 (more information later). I can't give you mandatory assignments that require a Mac, because many students do not have one. But, you'll be able to learn new things that will help you make a final app in this class.
