TF Digital Tech Literacy: Photograph Manipulation Introduction (PIXLR.com)

Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

Photograph Manipulation Introduction (PIXLR.com)

Today we will be working online with pixlr.com. This is a powerful website (CLICK HERE) to help you work with and manipulate digital photographs. Please use the time today to explore this software using pictures from Google Images. We will eventually be learning to take pictures and create a photo project book for the entire school. This will be an artistic project aimed at helping you to use photography, journalism, and Microsoft Publisher. We will be learning to use this software so you can create your own part of our Yearbook later this year.

Overall Academic Class Standards

SELF-ASSESSMENTS
