Action!

The year is winding down, however the laerning continues in room 301. We are continuing our Digital Photography unit. Many times students have these very "smart" digital cameras and leave them on the "auto" setting. Today's cameras have so many fun settings that need to be explored. Last week we discovered the "continuous shot" mode. This setting allows the photographer to take a shot every .5 seconds. You can get some really great photos this way!

Last week, students took "action shots" and this week were are doing a simple graphic design project with them. I will be sharing their projects with you later in the week. In the mean time, I thought you would enjoy a quick slide show of a few of my students getting their action shots.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

• STUDENTS ARE DESIGNING A WEBSITE WITH THEIR INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS. WE WILL BE SHARING THOSE ADDRESSES WITH YOU SOON.
• WE WILL BE PLAYING THE "SKYPE" GAME ON FRIDAY. I HAVE SET UP SKYPE APPOINTMENTS WITH SEVERAL CLASSES AROUND THE UNITED STATES. THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND ASK THEM FIVE QUESTIONS. THE GOAL IS TO SEE IF WE CAN DETERMINE WHICH STATE THEY ARE SKYPING FROM.
