Topics Discussed:

  • Adobe.com
  • Adobe ID

Assignment:

  • An Adobe account has been created with your student.phoenxiunion.org email address. This will grant you access to the entire Adobe Suite of apps, no matter what computer you sign into.
  • To test your access, click on your Launchpad (the little icon with nine colorful squares on the left side of the dock) and click on Adobe InDesign 2021
  • When the Adobe ID login window appears, enter your student.phoenixunion.org email address, and the password you created to log in.
  • You should now be able to access all of the Adobe apps installed on the computers in our department. We will be working with several of these apps throughout the school year, starting with Adobe InDesign tomorrow.
  • If you have any questions, just ask! Otherwise, my email address is mi.marmolejo@haydenmagnet.org.

InDesign Pre-Test 2023

Welcome to our InDesign unit! Today we will begin learning about the Adobe software suite, and the properties of the InDesign page layout software. But before we can get started, it’s helpful for me to know how much you already know about Design and design software.

Objective:
I can complete the InDesign pre-test by logging into Google Classroom and answering the pre-test questions to the best of my ability, so that I can see how much I know about InDesign, and how much I have to learn.

Topics Discussed:
Adobe InDesign CC

Assignment:

  • Visit my Google Classroom site and take the InDesign pre-test.
  • Remember, this is a pre-test, so do your best to answer all the questions, but don’t worry if you don’t have all the answers. That’s what you’re here to learn.
  • Submit your test answers before the end of the class period today.
  • Make sure you mark the assignment as “Done” when you finish to confirm that you took the test.
  • Once you have completed the pre-test, the rest of the time is yours. Use it wisely, and enjoy a peaceful denouement (Look it up!) to the 2nd week of school!
  • Don’t forget there’s an I-Day on Monday! Keep an eye on your Microsoft Teams around 10am for Monday’s asynchronous activity, and complete it to make sure you get marked as “present” for the day!
  • Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you all in-person on Tuesday!
