CARD READERS!

Card readers are attached to your computers!

Please do NOT move monitors or try to detach!

On each computer, the reader is located on the LEFT bottom corner of the monitor. When inserting a card, the label faces AWAY from you!

Each day when you arrive, pay attention to all items on your station: Mouse, Keyboard, Card Reader, etc.

If anything is missing or damage, tell me immediately! (or the next student will!)

Learning about layouts!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: InDesign and the yearbook!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adobe InDesign is the industry-leading layout and page design software for print and digital media. This desktop publishing software is popular among designers, artists, editors, and illustrators because it allows you to design, preflight, and publish a vast range of content for print, web, and mobile apps. We’re talking flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers, books, and YEARBOOKS!

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will perform a series of lessons and we will create our yearbook!!
