 * 4) Take a look at peer podcasts. Make comments on the Wiki, if you want.

Things to do to prepare for session 3:
Based on our planning for Tuesday, we would like you to prepare for session 3 by completing the following and/or have the items with you on Tuesday.
 * 1) Create a PDF of a document that relates with your chosen course.
 * 2) In windows, you can convert from word using **Cutepdf** at http://www.cutepdf.com(free) or any other tool.
 * 3) Word 2007 will also save as .pdf, if you have the .pdf converter installed- If Word does not have "Publish as .pdf" available, read how to set this up at: @http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/msoffice/?p=367
 * 4) In Mac just select print, then save as PDF.
 * 5) Upload this PDF to your USG PCS channel.
 * 6) Bring a digital picture or graphic (on your USB drive) that you want to display as “your home” on iTunes U. (remember copyright).
 * 7) This must be a 300x300 pixel size
 * 8) A free tool to resize your graphic is:http://www.pixlr.com/
 * 9) Hint: resize first to 300 wide then crop to 300 high. If that doesn’t look good, try the opposite. Save on USB drive and bring Tuesday. Graphic may be anything you wish: yourself, related to your topic, avatar, etc.
 * 10) On the wiki, enter iTunes U through the authenticated link using the passwords provided. Click on iApollo and you should see your home area. NOTE: Watch for an email on the iApollo list for when this is ready for you to test.

Follow the steps below to test your iTunes U site. This is still a work in progress, but you will need access to your site for session 3; so, give it a try.

Note: You may be able to edit other people's iU site. This is a temporary issue and will be resolved. For the time being, please be careful to edit only your site.

iTunes U Instructions:

 * go to @http://myuwg.westga.edu/its/itunesu.html
 * enter your myUWG username and password (Your password might be the last 2 digits of your birth year and last 4 of your social). If you have problems with username/password, please contact ITS. We can't change this for you. Simply tell them you need your MyUWG signin.
 * iTunes should open and direct you to the UWG iTunes U site. Once in iU- click on iApollo Workshops and find a course with your name.
 * try to upload a file to your site.
 * Please check below when you have checked your iTunes access. PLEASE- let us know if you can't get in. This is important for session 3 work.
