Citation preview
A student’s guide to avoiding lame computer-related excuses.
“My printer ran out of ink”
You have a paper due tomorrow. It’s finished, you’ve proofread and revised it, had a parent or friend read it to double-check, and even read it out loud to check your fluency.
But…
Scenario
THERE IS NO INK IN THE PRINTER!
Attach your paper and email it to [email protected]
Option 1- Email
The “e” does not stand for elephant.
You can save the file to a flash drive or burn it to a CD.
****NOTE**** There is a possibility that the file won’t open on
my computer. This is especially possible if you have a Mac or use Linux. I will try on my computer at school, and try Open Office on my home computer. If I cannot open your file, your assignment will be considered late.
Option 2- Flash Drive/CD
There are better ways.
Email with an attachment to: [email protected] document will go straight to my iPad, and I
can give you feedback straight from there.
Option 3- Markup
Look at all these wonderful web 2.0 tools you can use to share your paper with me. Most with no compatibility issues!
Option 4- The Cloud
You can easily start a blog, then copy and paste your paper into it.Just show up with the web address.Blogger.com is an easy one to use
Option 5- Blogs
This guy has at least five blogs.
Ok, I understand this happens. Let’s talk about how to work around it.
Addendum: My Computer Crashed!
Using cloud storage:You’re good!
Using a flash drive:Save often, and you’re good!
A Crashed Computer:
Mom, it’s not a touchscreen. No, Mom. Mom!
There is not an excuse for not handing in work on time. You have a variety of options, and you shouldn’t be waiting until the last minute anyway.
Bottom Line
I can start working on things as soon as they’re assigned?
As always, if you think you will have a hard time getting a project in on time, talk to me beforehand. We can figure something out.
Anticipating Problems?
This won’t be involved.
