Work with this week's team to begin to create a lesson plan (lesson plan template and NCSCOS) within a content area and topic of your choice. Each team member should make their own collection of images which should come from a variety of types of images: Microsoft Office clipart; Word Art, screen captures, and photographs you have taken or images you have drawn. That is, your collection can use images others have created but it must also include something of your own work, either instructional images created by hand or with a camera. In your presentation of the visual information for a lesson plan demonstrate your capacity to scale, crop and change the file size of an image through the images you show. Each team member is to put their image collection that could be used in teaching the lesson in a Powerpoint application and bring that file to class. (More details).
Within the overall content lesson design 3 technology micro-lessons in which one digital image composition skill is demonstrated. Look for ways in which some or all of the students compose a digital image, which means using a single computer in the classroom, single computer in the classroom with projection system, a small set of computers in the classroom, or a computer lab.
Be prepare to write about or discuss. Compare (identify similarities and differences) the use of paper and digital images.
Your Google Site
Take picture of your school building and classroom. Scale them to insert/fit into designated location at top of your home page at your Google Site with a height of 100 pixels.
Your instructor may discuss other possible still image assignment options. This might include putting selected lesson plan images on a Web page at your Google Site that is linked to the class photos branch of your home page with some activities for parents and students to do at home with the image.
Add a question to the course's online Wonder Web at the eCROP site that is related to the topic of this chapter on still images. Use the tools introduced in the Story of the Information Pyramid to also make a contribution to someone's question related to the topics and themes of this chapter on visual thinking and composition.
