I suggest you type your introduction on a Word Processor such as Microsoft Word so you do not loose your text.

Log in to Blackboard, go to the 2D Design course and open the Discussion Board - The link for the Discussion Board is on the left side in the navigation panel. Open the "Introducing Yourself" thread and select the "Create Thread" to write or record information about yourself, the reasons why you are taking this course. Add a picture of yourself!
