The previews of Dreamweaver for Web design, Fireworks for image editing, and Soundbooth for audio editing became available Monday.

Trials expire after 48 hours for most people, but registered CS3 users get to keep using the CS4 betas until the final applications replace them.

Feedback from Tanzania!

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I received the following feedback from a ex- HNC Radio Broadcasting Student this morning by email…………………..

Dear Telford,
 
I studied with you on a Radio Broadcasting course at

Telford in 2004. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I went on to present a regular evening show on commercial radio in

West Lothian for two years. I then travelled to Thailand and took my TESOL in

Bangkok. I am now the principal teacher at an international school in Tanzania and will be shortly moving on to

Nigeria to teach at a college there.
 

Telford really set me up for all of this and I am grateful. I just wanted to say …Thanks!
 
Please pass on my gratitude to everyone in the Radio Broadcasting Department and please also pass on my E Mail address it would great to heear from my old tutors!
 
Our School website is www.tis.ac.tz ( just in case they forgot what I looked like)
 
Thanks for everything

Telford is the best educational establishment I have ever attended in my life.
