"This
is the most fun I've ever had at a staff-development day!"
Attend one of our hands-on
training workshops to discover what an indispensable educational
tool the digital camera can be. You'll leave with your own Olympus
digital camera and lots of ideas for using it in your classroom,
on field trips, and at home. Students and teachers can take quality
photos for magazines, newspapers, flyers, lab reports, worksheets,
presentations, bulletin boards, and more. We'll teach you how
to download images onto your computer, and then train you to build
creative projects with your images.
Almost as soon as the
training begins, you'll have a camera in your hands. We encourage
loud talking, heckling, and random button-pushing during this
seminar. Your first assignment is to take a picture and then playback
your photograph on the camera's monitor. Once you've shot a few
pictures, we'll teach you about the various photography modes
by trying out each one. We'll explore resolution by first taking
a picture on half resolution, then taking a picture on full resolution.
Once you've grasped
the basics, we'll teach you about Macro photography and send you
outside (if it's sunny!) to take some close-ups using Super Macro.
Finally we'll take a panorama shot and then "stitch"
together 5 different photos into one massively long scene.
Soon you'll have many
pictures to work with, so we'll turn our attention to the computer.
Be careful what you take a picture of...it just may end up on
the projector for the whole class to see! Using the Olympus
MasterSoftware which comes with every Olympus camera, we'll
transfer the pictures through the computer's USB port. Just plug
the camera cable into the computer, and boot Olympus Master
. Within 30 seconds, you'll be making slide shows, cropping
excess pixels, and adjusting your pictures for perfect lighting.
We'll even show you how to draw a mustache on your partner. After
a brief review of photo touch-up, we'll start building projects.
 
The first half of the
seminar covers photography, the second half centers on project
building. We'll create interactive worksheets, websites and button-linked
presentations using Tool Factory software and digital photographs.
Link to the Digital
Camera Projects area of Tool Factory's website, and take a
gander at all the project possibilities. Of course, you'll only
get to pick one or two projects for the seminar, but our website
link is always active. You're welcome to come back at any time
for free ideas and templates to download throughout the school
year.

Learn about desktop publishing. We'll create worksheets by assembling
pictures, rotating them, adding captions, clip art, and even audio
and video to your projects. This will be your first software choice
for the Elementary grade levels.
If you selected MultiMedia
Lab V as your software, then we'll build websites or web-style
presentations. We'll show you how to build a web project in an
hour. You'll combine pictures, text, audio, and video into a web-ready
project, for easy publishing to the internet. But you won't have
to write a single line of code. The program generates the programming
for you! This is the software you will select for middle and high
school grade levels.
