- A 500kb image file needed to be inserted into a 24kb rtf text file
- This text file is then manipulated in various ways
- Then the students print the file.
Ach no they don't print the file because if they save the document as rtf or just print straight away without saving, it generates files that are 40, 50 or 60MB in size. HOW on earth can this be the case? Welcome to file formats.
Now of course we did not figure this out until the students had all panicked, been instructed by me to ignore printing, and copied their work electronically onto their desktops instead. Still not a good day.
So imagine my delight when I found out in the evening that I had been accepted as an ADE for the class of 2013! This is almost as if the yan of the iMac/Windows nonsense of earlier was counterbalanced by the ying of receiving such good news.
So there you have it, after much blood, sweat and tears and wiping out the entire month of November, I have been accepted into the global apple community of educators.
