New Class Blog

Hi all,

Be sure to check your personal email. On 13/2 I sent you an invitation to join our private class blog. I have posted a short video clip and a discussion topic there. As always, if you have any questions, please write them in the comment box below.

Ros Tapestry at Farmleigh

Hi all,

I thought you might want to see this while it's at Farmleigh. Normally it resides in Wexford, so it's a great opportunity to see this incredible embroidered masterpiece in Dublin. Click on the link below to learn more from the Ros Tapestry website.

Moodle

Hi all,

Just a reminder to have a look at Moodle. As we will be using this to communicate over the next 2 months, it's very important that you are checking in at least once per week, as I will be assigning homework and adding resources. This is part of the 'Flipped Classroom' project in cooperation with BCFE Tech Staff. In case you need a reminder about how to access the page, I've included instructions here:

Moodle is accessed from the BCFE website. Once there:

• On the right hand sidebar, select Moodle. 
• Login at the top right of the page. 
• Enter your Username and Password…Your Username and Password are the same as those assigned to you at the beginning of the year.
• If this username does not work try the Password: changeme
• You will then be prompted to change the Password to something that suits you.  
• Follow the links from Art, Design and Graphics > AFH2 > Professional Practice) 
• You may see 'not activated' in big red letters. Ignore this. It is active. 
• If you have trouble, don't be shy; let me know! 

Also, you all have college email addresses. Please activate them, if you have not yet done so, by googling 'outlook'. Once on the site you will be prompted to sign in. 

• Your user name is: first initial followed by your last name@bcfe.ie  
• Password: your student password. If this doesn't work, or you have forgotten it, try typing 'changeme', and you will be prompted to change your password. Again, let me know if you have problems.

Mock Interviews

Hi all,

I hope you're enjoying your mid term break! Remember to answer 25 of the Interview Questions, save as .doc, and email to me. I've been adding files and links to Moodle, so be sure to make a point of visiting regularly.

As per usual, any questions can be posted below.
