Description

Class Experience

In this flexible schedule course, students will learn the basics of photography by viewing interactive NearPod and Google Slides presentations, watching instructional videos, and completing collaborative tasks. Each week I will interact with students through OutSchool classroom discussion, comments on their Google Docs notes, and a screencast analysis of their photography submissions.

Students do not need any experience with photography to be successful in this class. They need only have...

Students will learn and practice the essential skills of photography. They should complete all requirements necessary for Scouting badges related to photography for both boys and girls.

I have been a teacher for more than a dozen years and an amateur photographer for most of my life.

Each week homework will consist of three things:
1. Viewing instructional material that I provide throughout the OutSchool classroom. 
2. Taking notes, completing quizzes, and posting responses (video, text and photo). 
3. Working with partners to capture, edit, and post photos to a collaborative Google Slides project.

-A digital camera (SLR, mirrors, compact, or phone).
-Basic familiarity with computers (saving photos to computer, uploading to Google Drive).
-Flashlight, lamp, or other mobile light source.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Google Docs and Slides
NearPod Interactive Lessons

Over the course of this class, students will assemble a portfolio of photos and notes which they may present to their parents, use to demonstrate understanding to a Scouting badge counselor, or add to a home school documentation portfolio.

No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

Parents are encouraged to preview the photos their children post to ensure that no private information (addresses, faces of people who do not post photos online, etc.) is being shared.
