week 2: lynda.com
Aaron got me a trial subscription to Lynda.com for Christmas, so I can learn how to use Photoshop and lots of other nifty programs. I love that they’re all about short video tutorials. I’ve already watched a bunch but if I don’t keep this on my radar, I’ll blink and my trial month will be over.
So this week’s thing will be learning how to do one new thing on Lynda.com. I’m thinking I’ll focus on Photoshop but I might go with screencasting. I’ll let you know in next week’s how-I-did update.
The easy: I really want to learn how to create nice looking things for CulturallyTeaching, so I’m motivated to do this thing.
The hard: Free time. I have very little of it this week.
My commitment: To make time to watch the relevant Photoshop or screencasting videos, produce something for CulturallyTeaching, and not get sidetracked by other videos or perfectionism.
I’ll tweet about my progress throughout the week. I welcome accountability, supportive comments, and hearing about your own projects for 2010!
