Back to Term 2

Welcome back everyone,
hope the holidays has been great, though it is still feels too short(but which holidays isn't that way?).

Now that we are back, its time to hit the work again.

For sec 2 classes, missed out seeing most of your during the last week of term 1, after your left for Malacca. The trip sounds good and i see lots of photos being linked around.

And that shall lead us onto our assignment in term 2: an afterthought about the Malacca trip. Basically its a reflection and look back on what you have gained in the trip(i mean knowledge, not that few pounds from the food that you eat).

This time we are going to work on voicethread, which i will cover more during the lesson.

Something about naming

Just to make a disclaimer:

this is not me trying to whine or making a complaint on a certain somebody.
Its a remark and something good to know.

---

So often have I been receiving files named as 'Untitled'. Be it word documents, designs, practically anything.

Thus I'll like to emphasize on the need to give a file a proper name
Here is a couple of reason to do so:
1) To provide information regarding the file
- Be it regarding the content or about the source
2) To aid in organizing files
- Can be about sorting files and searching for them
3) Both reasons will aid in saving time

Another point will be on ownership. A file not given a file name and just simply left as 'Untitled' is like an unwanted child. And after all its considered the result of some effort, it deserves to be given a name.


Here are some pointers about naming a file:
1) Do not use / \ * : ? " < > | inside your file name as they are reserved characters.

2) The name should provide some information
e.g. 'English Project.doc', 'Class Outing Budget.xls'

3) The name should not be too long, keep it short and sweet

4) Take note not to delete the file extension
e.g. .doc, .xls, .comicdoc, .jpg

That should be it. And when submitting assignments to me, please have your name and class in the file name.

End of Term

Now that we are reaching the end of term,
hope everything has been fine so far.
Feel free to drop me your feedback.

All constructive feedback are welcome.

Assignment wise,
Sec 1s: Comic life assignment if completed please send to
mail_xeno@yahoo.com.sg with your name and class as the file name
and the subject as "Comic Life Assignment"

Sec 2s: Presentation would most likely be pushed to next term. Good job so far on the planning and researching. Seriously i do hope your can really have a good gathering ahead in the year.

Sabbatical wise,
Sec 1s: Enjoy yourselves at the workshops, once again i have to say that I have tried my best to allocate to your preferences.

Sec 2s: Malacca trip sounds really fun, and that could lead us into the topics for next term CE.[hints]
