Cougar Task 3 - # 1 College Choice

 

1. Now that you've taken a tour and learned about your school, you need to pick just one (1) school as your "# 1 College Choice". What college will be your # 1?

My # 1 choice is: _______________________________________________

2. Using iGoogle (your internet browser's homepage at school) search for your college's logo or seal. Once you have located it, right-click on the image and choose Save Picture As. Save the logo to your Desktop and name it your school's name.

3. Now you will be creating a portfolio cover.

Open a new Microsoft Word document by going to Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Word 2007. In this document you will insert your school's logo in the center and resize it to fill 50% of the page. At the top of the page you will type the full name of your college. For instance, Florida State University and not FSU. Then at the bottom of your page you will type your first and last name and your teacher's name underneath. Here is an example...
