Better (Photo)Shop Around!

This week we are going to be talking about digital image tools and projects for students to manipulate images like Photoshop.

This site offfers projects for a subscription price but this is the sample and it deals with a digital scrapbook http://www.technokids.com/documents/senior/photoshop-lesson.pdf
In case you didn't know, Adobe has an instructor's page with tons of lesson plans as well (most of which are co-curricular) with podcasting, storyboarding, etc http://www.adobe.com/education/instruction/adsc/ they also have forum for teachers to share information http://forums.adobe.com/message/2298487

This lesson plan goes along with our FBLA State Project - Main Street, FBLA - the lesson is making a brochure to attract people to your community http://www.digitalwish.com/dw/digitalwish/view_lesson_plans?id=3144

  1. These are very helpful! If you don't have Photoshop in your classroom you might want to try Adobe's light version of the program found for free online. This post includes the link to the program and a small video tutorial on how to use it.

  2. I highly recommend Picasa 3, by Google. This free photo editing software does so much! The feature to create a collage is amazing, too. Check it out.
