Three Weeks NOT a Break

We will not have regular attendance at SVCTE from Monday, March 16 until Friday, April 3. (Three weeks.) We are scheduled to return to campus on Monday, April 6. There will be no Spring Break because you'll already have had lots of time off. So we will on campus for classes April 13–17.

This schedule might change at any time as circumstances change.

Even though you will not be on campus, we will be assigning work for you to do. Here is how you can prepare.

• Make sure that you have unrestricted access to a computer where you can do a lot of work. It doesn't matter whether the computer is a Mac or a PC. But it should be a computer you can use a lot, at least 2–3 hours per day. It may not work if this is also your parent's work computer.
• Make sure you have access to your Google Docs account from home, because you'll be doing a lot of writing.
• Install Brackets on the computer so you can write web page code. You'll be making a web page out of your resume and adding it to your portfolio. Brackets runs on both Mac and PC. The web site is something like brackets.io.

Here are a few other things to think about:

• You can get a one-month free trial of Adobe Illustrator. Wait until I give you an Adobe Illustrator assignment; don't download it now. 
• If you have a Mac you can download Xcode to your computer and work on the Personality Quiz, then be ready to start selected lessons from Unit 4 (more information later). I can't give you mandatory assignments that require a Mac, because many students do not have one. But,  you'll be able to learn new things that will help you make a final app in this class.

Check back on Monday, March 16 for further instructions.
