Every learner has a different learning style and every teacher has a different teaching style - here are some other online amazing educational resources you may want to check into.
Jessica Sprague -
Self-Paced Up and Running Photoshop Elements Class Jessica is an amazing teacher - her learning style is easy to follow and the projects you will create in her class are amazing - well worth it imho.
Pattie Knox -
Digital Templates Class - Patty works with Digital Scrapbooking Magazine and personally I just love her! She is an easy-going person who people just love to be around. Her new class is perfect for beginners and I will be over there taking it as well - that is how excited I am about learning from Patty - the products included with class are designed by the likes of Anna Aspnes, Jesse Edwards, Lynn Grieveson, Kellie Mize, and Katie Pertiet of DesignerDigitals.com - so check it out!
Hummie's World is also a great place with free video tutorials, a subscription site, etc. Hummie has helped lots of beginning digital scrapbookers learn (we are lucky to have a few of her videos on DS101)...
Another upcoming class that I am excited about is Cathy Zielske's
Design Your Life Class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. 12 weeks, 36 layouts, better design skills - sounds like fun to me!
If you have a favorite class, by all means please mention it here in the forums! We love to know where good teaching is happening!
