ACTION+ASSIGNMENT+5

Part of the curriculum for the 7th Grade Computer Applications class covers desktop publishing. I will be using this Vidcast as an introduction to each concept of Photoshop. There are 64 episodes thus far that go beyond the basics of Photoshop and includes clear illustrations of each function of Photoshop. It's a great hands-on way to introduce each function and will help the student better understand the steps they will be taking after they view each episode.

This is a great App resource, and also offers iPad tips and tricks. I'm looking forward to using this App in our new after-school Tech Club we are starting next year. Each episode offers suggestions for Apps ("Remember the Milk" is a great Task Management App) as well as tips, such as the magnifying glass on the iPad (who knew there was a magnifying glass if you tap twice????)

It's lengthy, however, so I recommend you view each episode first and tag what parts you want to view with your students.
