Module 1 - About Me
Overview
One of the first assignments for this class is to introduce yourself to me (the instructor) and other students by creating an Adobe Spark page. This is a free, creative way to place your profile online so we can get to know each other better. There will be opportunities for interactions during the course, and the more you feel a sense of community among and between the other students (and me), the more likely you are to participate and contribute to any discussions or raise questions when needed.
