"Handwritten notes, meeting for coffee, eye contact, a
handshake, a smile—are these social practices of
yesteryear, soon to be replaced by the "wall posts" and
"pokes" of today's social networking technologies?
Although advances in social networking technologies
allow for new and perhaps more efficient means of
learning and communicating, they also pose some
significant challenges in higher education. For example,
how can campus professionals, especially those in
student and academic services, learn to use these
technologies to think differently about communicating
with students and about facilitating learning? What
aspects of Facebook, YouTube, wikis, LiveJournal, Flickr,
and MySpace.com might translate into new ways for
creating better and more effective student and academic
services?" Read more at:
Technology Tip of the Week - March 26, 2007
How to Send a Photo
via E-mail (XP)
Windows XP makes it that much easier to e-mail
photos to friends and family. With just one click, a picture's file
size can be reduced and automatically attached to an e-mail message
waiting to be sent.
Follow these steps:
-
Right-click the Start button and choose Explore to open Windows Explorer
-
Navigate to the picture file you want to send and left-click on it once to select
-
You should see the Picture Tasks menu in the left window (Note: If you don't see the Picture Tasks menu, click on the Folders button at the top)
-
Under the File and Folder Tasks menu, click on the E-mail this file option. In the dialog box that pops up, select Make all my pictures smaller. Depending on how you expect the receiver to use the photos you can also choose to keep the original size as the smaller size may not work for them. For more size options, click on Show more Options.
-
When you've customized your choice, Outlook or Outlook Express will open an e-mail message with a default subject and message. Notice that the picture has already been attached to the e-mail. Enter in the recipient's e-mail address, change the subject and message, if so desired, and hit Send. That was easy, wasn't it?
For more help with these features, please contact one of the IT Instructional Support team (Norm Grant, Gene Grande or Linda Beith) or faculty mentors Tony Basilico or Kathy Beauchene.
