Digital Media Students- Remember to use the email that you used during set-up at school; I used your index cards to set-up your accounts.

Student in these classes are able to choose a couple of assignment options.

Option 1: The custom card assignment, with your group from class or on your own.

*This option requires a photo editor that can work with layers and a device that can handle word processing and email.

Option 2: Two visual vocabulary words, with critiques per week.

*This option requires a camera and a device that can handle word processing and email.
