A Glimpse of Kim Lowrance

Standards IV:  Communicate Information

Communicate information in different formats and for diverse audiences.

This is an area I really enjoy,  probably because of my previous experience teaching language arts.  It's important for teachers to be able to communicate in a variety of methods to reach all students with different learning styles.    Whether a student is global or analytic, right brained or left, auditory or visual, we must be able to relay our knowledge in methods that meet all of these needs

Caption 10

Artifact #10

Descriptors: Digital graphics, communications

Title:  Digital Bio

Course: 101 Digital Graphics and Animation

Date Created:  October 12, 2002

Source:  Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and digital images

Media:  Web page and .jpeg

Description:
*give a brief introduction of ourselves in a collage of digital images
*apply various concepts such as:
         -selection tools
         -moving and/or duplicating a selection
         -layering
         -adding text
         -drawing tools

Rationale
I chose this exercise to include as an artifact because it relays information about me in an atypical fashion.  Instead of verbally sharing these details about my life or writing them down, I displayed the important features of my life through pictures that any audience could understand.  This project also afforded me the opportunity to put into practice several of the techniques I learned in the Vision IT training.  

Implications for future
I have already used this assignment in my classroom this year in my middle school technology applications course.  The students loved being able to create a project about themselves without having to write an essay!  I also plan to use it in my high school ta classes in the future.
