Pre-Course Assignment<\/em><\/p>\n

Prior to the first class, each student will need to sign up and create a page on the class blog on WordPress.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0* Write a brief bio of yourself and your expectations for this course. Please post only what you feel comfortable sharing in a public forum.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0* On your blog page, give an accurate assessment of your skills that are relevant to digital archiving. These would include web design, HTML, CSS, image editing, familiarity with Dublin Core, etc. While these skills are not a prerequisite for the course, it will help to know who has what skill sets that we will be able to collectively call upon as we develop the 9\/11 archive.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0* Spend time exploring the features of WordPress to familiarize yourself with its format. Because we are working collaboratively on the blog, please access only your page and be respectful of each others’.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
