Photo Shop

What a week it has been in our InsT class. We have picked up (or at least attempted to) some pretty neat tricks in the program Photo Shop. What wonderful things can be done with one simple program. I am still getting the hang of it a bit, but the purpose of learning about photo shop this week is to help us broaden our horizon and get us thinking out side of the box. In my specific content area of History Education I can use this Photo shop program to edit any pictures that I would like. How cool is that. What a fun way to make things more fun and interesting for each student in my class. The whole purpose of teaching is to help students learn and comprehend the material presented. In the past teachers have just spewed forth tons upon tons of information and have expected the students to regurgitate that information when it came time to take the test. By making class fun, and in this case it will be using images, and things such as this edited in photo shop to make learning fun and exciting for the students. If the material is presented in a different variety of ways the likelihood of students actually understanding and comprehending the information is very high!!!
