Agenda: Setting up your USB (cont.), Update on MyDrive, gmail account, resumes
Today we will finish setting up our USB drives (MACs). I will also provide you with some links on how to create your Resume. Finally, please check for a invitation to create a gmail account from my gmail address: azgambo@gmail.com
On Monday, I provided you with a handout on how to set up your USB Drives. We will work on completing the process today. I talked to the Office of Instructional Technology and they are still working on the possiblility of providing the 616 lab access to the features available through MyDrive. In the meantime, I have generated a handout that you can use at your home computers to explore the MyDrive features. Remember, your USB drive will be your primary storage device for this class.
You should receive a gmail invitation from my gmail account (azgambo@gmail.com) sometime thursday. Please make sure you look for it in your uga mail. Sometimes the UGA Mail system will place a email with a gmail extension into the junk folder. Please register for a gmail account by Monday. Please use the following naming convention for your gmail account: FirstnameLastname
This will make it easier for me to access your future website. Please note that this should be the only time you will receive a email from my gmail address. Throughout the term, emails from me will be from my azgambo@uga.edu address. Please do not send me email to the azgambo@gmail.com address, since I don't check that address often.
Your resume is due on Friday. If you have not written a resume before, here are some helpful sites:
UGA Resume Writing Site: http://www.career.uga.edu/multimedia/ResumeTips.pdf
(Ignore the statement about using a resume template. For this assignment please feel free to use a template. Using a template helps ensure consistancy and helps reduce formatting problems.)
Perdue Resume Writing Site: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/workshops/hypertext/ResumeW/index.html
The rest of class time will provide you an opportunity to complete your resume.
To do list:
1. Turn in resume on Friday
2. Create a gmail account by Monday.
3. Remember to bring your USB drive to class everyday.
See your Friday.
