Next three weeks

For the next three weeks I'll be working in the curriculum development area so my classes will be covered by a couple of part-time staff, Belinda Pratten and Cameron Major.  I'll be thinking of you as I struggle to write about 100 learning outcomes for our new Degree program which will be kick started next year.  In case you are wondering there will be a seamless transition for you to the new program in 2010.  

Photographic Technology 1

We've been made aware of a typo on the Digital SLR camera assignment, it says Due: Week 14, June 25th. Of course that should read Week 14, May 25th. I'm sure you didn't even notice, nobody would want to be doing assignments over the mid year break. Sory, wheel trie two proove reed everttthin bedder nixt tyme.

That old guy...

I will be referring to this fella during Monday's Photo Tech 1 class so thought you might like to see a short video about him.

YOUR NAME!

Can everyone PLEASE put YOUR NAME as the BLOG TITLE - when I have to check over 60 blogs per week it it hard if your name is not on it.
thanks!

Tour at Photoaccess: There will be two tours at Photoaccess for CIT students. 

These tours will NOT be held next week as discussed yesterday as Ed is unavailable on Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 March. We are in the process of organising new dates and times. Ed will take you through the photographic arts centre and explain what Photoaccess has to offer you as students and as emerging photographers. He will also give you a discount on the student membership rate. Currently the rate is $25 per annum and you will be able to join for $20.

As soon as we have the new dates and times I will post them on the blog.

See you next week,

Belinda 

Canberra Day Holiday

Just a reminder that the Canberra Day holiday is on Monday March 9th, next week in fact.  All those students who will be disappointed at not having to come to the theory class on Monday morning please raise your hands........that's what I thought.

I will publish/post/print a new Photo Tech 1 weekly timetable soon to reflect the change in content, we'll all just have to work faster and smarter.  JMS

Blogging away

Almost everyone seems to be up & running with their blogs - you will find that they become great resources the more links and research you add. You should be posting your Visual Culture weekly assignments. You do not need to post all the images/works that you discuss, a sample is enough. Remember please to properly credit images with at least a url or source and artists name.
