Just one use of InDesign

I'm putting together a prospectus for a book. It's the history of a particular journalist (an advice columnist for 51 years at the Milwaukee Journal), and I've got some wonderful photos of her. Using InDesign, I've been able to mix the photos and text in ways I could never do in any word processing program I've used (I regularly use three).

Teams and blogs

I finally selected the teams, which is quite hard trying to balance varying degrees of skills. Here was my methology: After getting the surveys, I was able to ascertain who had skills. I tried to spread them out so each team had at least one person with skills. Then I basically just slotted the rest by random (the first name not already on a team got a 1, the second a 2, the third a 3, etc.; then starting over after apportioning the correct number of teams (five in one class; three in the other).

As to blogs, I now have addresses for most of them. I'll putting them into D2L. That way, people can click on the address and go right to the blog.

Welcome everyone

I guess if you get to comment on me, it's only fair that I set up a system whereby I can comment on you. As to the first week of classes, all I can say is that you laughed at most of my lame jokes (you all do well in "suck up"). You've cost me $5 so far in my swearing pool. (I swear, I've got to cut this out; pretty soon I'll be losing money teaching.)

I'll get around to posting all the other info that I can (like profile, etc.). Meanwhile, you'll have to get them from the Marquette Student Media blog if you're interested.
