Photoshop Photoshop enables students to create and manipulate images. Our first project is basic graphic design, creating a logo for a company. Our second project is a student favorite, the composite photo. Students find a photo on the Internet, we take a posed pictured of them here in the classroom, and then students work to combine the two photos so that the viewer cannot tell the difference. Watch out world of tabloids, here we come. Logo Composite Photo |
PowerPoint Students complete three PowerPoint projects in Computer Applications. First, an automated series of slides that demonstrates how to complete a process. Some examples include, how to make a a milkshake, how to draw a mouse, and how to build a barn. Second, students complete a non-linear autobiography with hyperlinked buttons and images. Finally, they complete a Free Design project where students use the skills they already have to create either a quiz or a choose your own adventure style presentation.

Excel Spreadsheets aren't just for boring school board meetings. They can help you learn more about your eating and exercising habits, buy the car or home you might want, even travel the world. But don't stop there, we'll use them to gather information about what the entire 8th grade thinks. Then we'll convey that information to other through graphs and charts. The Principal and both Superintendents have already stopped by to read the charts we produce. Calories In = Calories Out Exchange My Money |
Media Literacy Media Literacy underlies much of what I teach in both Digital Video and the Photoshop units in Computer Applications. Media producers have control of the messages that we receive while watching, television, reading the newspaper, or listening to music. Media Literacy strives to enable students to become media producers, select their own messages, and convey that message to others. A media producer is also a critical media consumer. |

Digital Art Art is not unattainable. It should not be left to others that we think are more gifted than us. On the contrary with the skills learned in Computer Applications and Digital Video you can produce your own art. To make your art even better use the Principles of Graphic Design and the Color Wheel.
