Digital Media Update

My digital media class is going great.  So far, students have learned photo imaging including layering, applying layer masks, Andy Warhol effects, feathering, dithering, etc.  They are using Canon digital camcorders and Canon Rebels to take photographs of school life, community events and personal stuff.  Currently, they are importing the images into video editing software.  The class has been asked to work on projects such as NBHS Hall of Fame, Flags of Nations and a Craven County Cooperative project with the Board of Education.  It's amazing what technology can get you through in one month of school.  Oh - great students help!
