Lecture
During the lecture we were provided with a powerpoint presentation which gave us an introduction to the unit and the skills that we would acquire from completing it.
Tutorial
Today we started the unit by learning three tasks: creating a weblog, using imageshack and posting screenshots. All three objectives were fairly simple due to the fact that we were following detailed instructions and also because such tasks are basic when using the internet.
