Use task-appropriate tools to synthesize knowledge, create and modify solutions, and evaluate results in a way that supports the work of individuals and groups in problem-solving situations.

Using technology to enhance teaching has become quite commonplace throughout education.  By using the appropriate tools to teach with makes learning easier and more enjoyable for many students.  My main goal is to guide teachers to use the appropriate tools for the task and provide the tools for them along with instruction as needed.

Title: Creating Digital Graphics

Course: TATC - Digital Graphics/Animation

Date Created: October 22, 2002

Source:  Individual Project

Media:  Web page using MS FrontPage and Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home Edition

Description: For this we were to take a single picture and use different digital graphics tools to show how it changes the perspective, look and feel of the subject.

Rationale: This assignment stretched what I had learned and helped me to expand my abilities.  I used a product that I was already familiar with but had never used it to its fullest.  The assignment also required me to utilize tables in a web page which I was just beginning to get used to.  It also helped me to use the principles of design that we had touched on periodically since the start of the course.

Implications for future:  Since I do a lot of scanning of photos and am just now starting to use a digital camera, this will enable me to correct imperfections and enhance the photos as I go along.  I have done several "memory" quilts and pillows for individuals and can see how this would really help to emphasize the subjects.
