SPRING 2009 COMPUTER
COLLEGE
REGISTRATION SMASHES
RECORDS
You have done it again. For Fall 08 there were about 285 "class
seats" taken, a record. (Number enrolled times the number of classes for
which they enrolled.) For Spring 09, there are more than 320 class
seats taken, for a new record. We trust that your classes will meet your
needs and you will enjoy experiencing new techniques. Classes will start
on January 5 so there still is time to enroll for a class. However, some
classes are full so be sure to check at a service desk to see if there still is
space. To meet the big demand, the instructors are offering second
sections for six courses.
There are many news things in the works. These will be
covered in the next issue since I am sure you are too busy thinking about
Christmas to be thinking about computer classes. Unless you think
Santa might bring you a new computer.
It was nice to see many of you at the Roundup. Hope it
helped you to find which class was right for you.
Now for a
confession. Wow, is my face red. Turns out that the graphic in the
last e-Notes had a serious typo. That means I did a lousy job of
proofing. Well, here is how it happened. I was in a hurry to get it
in the "mail" so you would have 12 Days till the Roundup. Since
this happened, the teacher in me says let's turn this into a learning
experience. Getting a graphic into a Gmail is a multi-stage
operation. The graphic was prepared in Word, using WordArt. It had
to be done twice since "Computer College Roundup" as one entry was
unreadable when it was wrapped. Then it was necessary to change both the
fill and outline of the letters. Next, copy the graphic to Paint to size
and crop it. Now save it as JPEG to Pictures. Preparing a Google
document is the next step. Insert the graphic (browse your pictures) into
the Gdoc. You are almost there. Now compose your Gmail and you can
copy and paste the graphic into the body. Seems that I was more
interested in how the graphic looked that how to spell
"computer" Am I forgiven. Have a Merry Christmas.
