A SCHOOL OF PHOTOGRAPHY AT YOUR SCHOOL
"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.

following products for your seminar:

With Five-Star reviews, and an Editor's Choice Blue Ribbon award you
can't go wrong. You're going to love Tool Factory Workshop! 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.
