Just wanted to write a quick comment giving kudos to the Adobe online Digital Kids Club. In this site students and the like can participate in lessons which enable them to learn how to become photographers and videographers. Along with lessons there are games and activities that students can play in order to practice their new learnt skills. This online resource can be used by teachers when introducing the concepts of photo-taking and video-shooting. Teachers can also share lessons online for other teachers to use and share.

Students are to use their own digital cameras to take photos, and then edit and enhance their image by using the program Adobe® Photoshop® on either a Mac or PC. This site has simple instructions for students to follow and learn how to best improve and create their own piece of art. This site seems to be very easy to comprehend being both clear and practical. Definately worth checking out! Here is the website if you would like to view it: http://www.adobe.com/education/digkids/lessons/index.html

What an inspiring video. It’s hard to see the importance of e-learning in the classroom from time to time as learning is still relevant without technology. However I found this video to outline a truth in which I haven’t really thought about. Todays students will seeing a very different world to what I saw only ten or so years ago. Their future will see many more things than what I will see. Therefore as teachers we need to prepare students for this future which changes so often and so quickly, that we do not even know what we are preparing them for. Hence, we need to equip students with all that we can so that they are prepared for each and every opportunity, each and every job, each and evey problem and each and every outcome. Sean quotes the video by stating: “As teachers we will be preparing students for a technological world which is rapidly changing. We are preparing students for jobs which do not exist, using technologies which have not yet been developed.”
