One of the most exciting times this year in Computer Lab had to be the 10th grade learning Photoshop. I introduced Adobe Photoshop CS2 to the 10th grade at ECS and they were very quick to catch on to the photo editing software. We started the Photoshop chapter of Compute Lab on how to maneuver your way around the editior and learned the basic tools. Each week we would have a video lesson and a lab. The video lesson consisted of a professional graphic designer teaching the basic tools of Photoshop and also sharing some tricks along the way. I would then provide the students with a lab that would correspond with the previous lesson. The labs consisted of creating special affects for pictures, editing text to make it have a special design, and even creating writing to make it look like it was imprinted in a stone.
I was very impressed on how the 10th grade caught on so quickly and how they responded to learning a new technology. I look forward to continuing to help the students learn in technology as they apply it to their lives. I am confident if you ever need any help editing any pictures at home you can ask your 10th grade student and they will be of great help!
