Week 11

This week we started doing group rotation projects. Originally my group was going to start with PDA’s, but something’s got changed around so we worked with Adobe instead. Normally when I have used Adobe in the past it has been for viewing and reading PDF files and not really creating anything. It actually didn’t seem too hard what we worked on because I have previous knowledge of how to convert files to PDF’s.

I have had to convert files to PDF’s because sometimes when uploading it’s easier to upload a PDF rather than a Word file for example. I have had the instance in a past class where the instructor would only take assignments as PDF files. So in order to follow instructions I would have to convert my files to that so they could be viewed in Adobe.

I know that sometimes not everyone is using the same version of a program. Sometimes we are not able to view something for example if a sent file is only available in the newest version. If we send our files as PDF’s then it’s possible for everyone to be able to view something. But I think it doesn’t matter where someone is, if it’s at work or home they should really be up to date on software and just not always continue with older program versions.

Next week we are going to be doing Market Your Professional Assets Day for Owens students. With our groups it sounds like we are going to be helping out students with different tasks, such as recording a podcast. We are to dress professionally, so I will have to remember to do that because it’s not going to be a typical class day. Will have to see what happens because I not sure how the day will turn out until it actually happens.
