Teaching DW MX 2004 L2

Today I taught Dreamweaver MX 2004-Level 2.

It was the second time I’ve done the course, and I don’t feel like it went as well as the first time I did it. The feedback from the students was fine. No major complaints, though I had a suggestion to go through some of the examples more slowly.

There were a couple people in the course that are taking over or need to manage fairly substantial web sites. It makes me realize that these people are walking out of these courses facing really severe demands, and there is only so much we can communicate in a 7 hour course. But there is so much that should be said, beyond the scope of the class.

Good luck to them, I guess. Hopefully they left the course today having learned something that will pay off for them with their projects.

Down like Rumplestiltskin.

You know when you lie back to take a little rest and you wake up eight hours later?

That was me, last night. I finally had the girls in bed, and I wanted to get some laundry going and do some client related work.

But, I was really feeling a little groggy. So, I laid down, with the intention of getting up when Chey got home. She was out doing some work for LCC. Well, apparently I didn’t notice when Chey came in.

My eyes opened again at about 6:30 AM, and as I looked at the clock, I could hear the city bus that I was supposed to be on, zooming down Waverly Road behind our house.

It was a not-so-good start to what has been a surprisingly decent day. And, now I get to do a class that I’ve not taught before: Angel Groups. It’s training on using the groups features in Angel, an online course management system.
