Smart Phone Apps (maybe highlight ones that help you get organized at the beginning of the semester)

Embed another video

  • Rocky has been working on some Screenr videos about primo and our catalog.  Maybe we could even use one of the Screenr videos already made in CAT?  highlight a technology or something.  Then you can even write a snippet on it since we’re short on content anyways.  I’ll leave that up to your choosing.  Just upload the video to Youtube as well so you can have a merge code.  That might be better since last time they preferred one with more of an academic value.

Spotlight a technology available for student use in JH 048 (like Final Cut, scanners, DVD burner, etc.)

  • Wacom Intuos4 tablet and photoshop

    New Technology in JH048:
    The Wacom Intuos 4 pen and tablet is a new device to the Center for Academic Technology in JH048. This pen and tablet combination allows Photoshop users to mimic their personal drawing style as if they were drawing with pen and paper. The pen and tablet are highly realistic with 2048 levels of sensitivity and various pen tips that allow the artist to simulate multiple brush types.
