Preface: The LINC-67-02W class "Designing Web-Based Learning Projects" with Kas Pereira (Spring 2021) was cancelled due to low enrollment. So I need to take a summer class at Foothill College, for my VTA Clipper Card Bus Pass to be valid. Al Guzman recommended me to take the 0 unit class LINC-405 "Beginning Technology Skills" with Kas Pereira. She informed me that Kim Randall & William Cavada are teaching this class in the summer. There were Zoom sessions each Monday and Thursday (6:00-6:30 pm) with Gene Tognetti, and Q&A sessions with Kim Randall & William Cavada (6:30-7:00 pm). I enrolled and below are the assignments done.
