Digital Photos
Students:
Once your photo appears below, you will be able to upload it to Web-X
so
that we will see your face each time you post something in the
Discussion
(message board) site. If you already uploaded your photo for
another
class, you don't have to upload it again. Everything in your
preferences
page follows you everywhere on Web-X. It is very easy to upload
your
picture. Just follow these simple steps:
1.
First copy your photo and save it to your disk. Be sure to save
it
as a JPEG file by giving it a .jpg ending (for example,
smith.jpg).
Make sure you can remember where on your disk you save it.
2.
Go to Web-X, log in, and click on the PREFERENCES button. Scroll
down to the section labeled YOUR PICTURE.
3.
In the text box provided (next to the words "Upload a new picture"),
click
on the BROWSE button. As you click your way to your picture file,
make sure the file type setting is All Files (*.*), not HTML.
Once
you see the file name (e.g., smith.jpg), either double click on the
file
name or click on the Open button. You should then see the
file location (path) in the Web-X text box. Now all you have left
to do is to save (set) your preference.
4.
Scroll to the bottom of the preferences page and click the button
labeled
SET PREFERENCE. If you see your picture when you scroll back up
to
the YOUR PICTURE section, you were successful in uploading it.
5.
The final step is to click the OK button at the bottom of the
page.
Your picture will now appear next to each of your Web-X
Discussion
site postings. If your uploaded photo has a lot of digtial
garbage
in it (looks like it was run over by a truck in the the rain), try a
different
computer, browser or platform (PC, Mac) until you succeed. The
computers
in the Mac classroom seem to be best for uploading photos to Web-X.
You
will discover that the digital photo is an important feature in
personalizing
the Internet and helping us to build online learning communities.
For that reason, use of a digital photo is mandatory in this
program.
If
you do not like the photo below, you may use a digital photo of your
own
choosing. However, you may not use anything but your own
picture.
You will not, for example, be allowed to use a picture of the
Muppets
or Britney Spears or G.W. or Osama Bin Laden or any other person, place
or thing that is not you. Photos must bear the same face you take
to in-person seminars, i.e. no cutsey identity-exploring shots. Photos
in this class must be in color, 70 pixels wide and up to 90
pixels long.
You
will be unable to upload photos larger than 10K. The photos below
are the correct size.
If
for any reason you do not want your picture to appear on this page that
you are now viewing, I can upload your photo to an undisclosed location
on the web. Wherever I post your photo, here or at the
undisclosed
location, I can remove it after you save it to your own disk or after
you
upload it to Web-X. Just let me know. Our Web-X site, where
your picture will appear, is not open to the public. As you know,
a password is needed to get into Web-X. If you have serious
reservations
about using your photo in Web-X even under those conditions, you are
the weakest link; goodbye! --J.G.
To
get more
familiar with the use of Web-Crossing, you can take a self-paced tour
that will take about 10 minutes.
