Choosing the info I'm in fo'

In order to see my response to this assignment, I've attached an exciting video that includes a step-by-step guide on how to open the multimedia presentation I've used to answer this question. Here's the link:

Just Kidding.

If this is the only page you are reading today on this leisurely surf through the gentle waves of the internet, you may have been "stoked" to have a multimedia extravaganza to click on here. Bro. But if you are checking out this blog after another 50 like it, plus checking email and reserving that book, you might - like me - prefer something shorter and more to the point. I mean, OK, I'm a long sentence user. Sorry. But at least you can see that without committing. If this were a video you'd be noticing with annoyance right now that 3 and a half minutes had passed and I still hadn't really said anything useful.

So. Here's a quick guide to the info I'd request to be in fo':

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
Best format for these is graphics and/or text.

DEMONSTRATIONS:
Screencasts.

LIGHTER FARE FOR WHEN YOU FEEL STUDENTS NEED A BREAK:
Forego this type of resource altogether unless it's accompanied by less work than usual.

So there you are. A quick guide because the baby's crying and the discussion question is due at midnight. Post-literate? perhaps. But Pre-deadline is more apt, generally.

  1. Should have added: Hands on practice is the best practice when it comes to computer instruction. I don't get much out of reading the explanations until I need to know to get an assignment done. I'm not a sequential learner any more than this is a sequential guide to how I like to learn!
