31 Spooky Ways to Integrate Adobe Software in Higher Education (Post 15/31): Learning How to Use Dreamweaver to Design Classroom Websites

Readers,

Whenever I have a question about a feature on an Adobe software, I always visit the Adobe TV website! :) This website is amazing and it provides a wealth of videos for viewers (especially for those who work in the higher education environment without receiving formal software training).

I do not know much about Dreamweaver, but I plan to watch an episode (or two) per week for the next few months to become familiar with the software. This week, I plan to watch "Part 01 - Introduction" and "Part 02 - Creating Your First Webpage".

31 Spooky Ways to Integrate Adobe Software in Higher Education (Post 14/31): Hosting Adobe Days on Campus!

Readers,

As a former Program Coordinator at Sam Houston State University, I am very excited about introducing our Communication Studies students to new concepts and initiatives though programs and services available through our department. 

Here is a great idea for next semester and also it is a wonderful idea for your college/university! Showcase software to your students and faculty (from departments across campus) through a campus-wide event like Adobe Days"! 

Question - What are some advantages and disadvantages of 

an event like "Adobe Days"?

Sincerely,
