]]> Because of the weather on Monday and because I will be at a convention in Indianapolis, class is working online this week. Office hours are canceled for this week.

There are two goals for Monday’s class: learning how to post on the Help for Hokies site, and share the links for our online classes for Wednesday and Friday.

Posting on the Help for Hokies website

You will post your second project on the Help for Hokies website, where any new or returning Virginia Tech student can benefit from the information. You will need to complete 4 different steps (linked below) to post your contribution.

  1. Download your second project from Google Drive as a PDF.
  2. Register on the Help for Hokies site to create a personal login.
  3. Upload the PDF for your second project, using the Add New Media page.
  4. Add a new post and embed your PDF media on that page.

You’ll post the PDF of your project on the Help for Hokies site when you are ready to turn in your project. For Monday’s class, skim through the instructions to make sure you understand the process. You’ll return to these instructions when you are ready to turn in your project.

“In-Class” Writing

For Monday’s class, Register on the Help for Hokies site by 5 PM on Tuesday, 5/18.

If you want to impress me, you can edit your profile to include an avatar image. Click on the upper right toolbar, where it says “Howdy,” and click on Profile and then Edit. The process is fairly simple and obvious.

Online Class Instructions for 3/19 and 3/21

Classes take place online for Wednesday and Friday of this week, since I will be at a convention. Everything you need is set up and explained in these two posts:

Getting Help with the Online Sessions

I may not be able to respond to your questions quickly this week. I will be traveling all day Tuesday and all day Sunday. On Wednesday to Saturday, I will be attending sessions and meetings as well as presenting.

Email me if you have a question, and I will respond when I can. Realize, however, that I may not see any questions you have until late in the evening. Do your best work, try to figure things out, and above all, don’t panic if you don’t hear from me immediately.
