Tech Team @ Pongakawa: TTE

Day 1 (31/03/11):
My Footprint Counts

This morning we spent some time exchanging introductions with Whaea Jeanette. We discussed in brief, e-Learning and what makes ICT fun in learning.

Sam and Ben have joined this group as teachers to facilitate learning and share their skills.

Intention: We are learning about digital photography in Powerpoint and how to take great snapshots.

Whaea Jeanette spoke about the three elements of great photography being
- subject matter

- light

- composition

and shared a series of four digital photography based tasks (two of which we will complete):

Tech Team E -
1. Five Important Things About Me
2. 6 Word Digital Memoirs (Nature)
3. I Spy - Name (9 Objetcs Smalles thand ONE centimetre)
4. Theme Scavenger Hunt (Shapes)

Success Criteria - We know we have achieved taking great snapshots when our photographs...

are original
are sharp and in focus
are taken using different angles and frames
show elements of subject matter, light and composition
are interesting and varied
demonstrate the 'thirds rule'

Whaea Jeanette showed us examples of the tasks and shared the criteria we would need to focus on:

Ben then demonstrated how to upload photos, place them into folders and delete the original snapshots off the SD cards.

Our presentations have since been group together, saved as tasks in pdf files and uploaded to this blog via the web2 tool Slideshare. Take a glimpse at our final efforts (NOTE - Slideshare could take some time to load and may not be supported by Mac/iPad):
