2. Prior Experience Created student slideshows to music using digital images
documenting projects
geology field trip pictures incorporated into classroom discussions
Personal use
3. Objectives To incorporate real life examples of monocots and dicots into the classroom
To appeal to different learning styles
Students will be able to identify and take digital photos of each
Students will be able to write a compare/contrast essay (Type III-John Collins) upon completion of this slide show
5. Monocots
Embryo with single cotyledon (seed cannot be split in two)
Flower parts in multiples of three
Major leaf veins parallel
Stem vascular bundles scattered
8. Techniques Used Copying layers
Creating bold type with the correct opacity and text tools in Photoshop Elements 3.0
Saving as Photoshop AND JPEG files
10. Techniques Used Aforementioned
Image resizing and resolution
Enhancing and adjusting color
Adjusting hue/saturation
Eraser, opacity and size brush
13. Dicots Embryo with two cotyledons (seed can easily be split in two)
Flower parts in multiples of four or five
Major leaf veins netted
Stem vascular bundles in a ring
16. Techniques Used Enhancing flower edges to make them really “pop”
Filter sharpen
Unsharp mask
Adjust amount and radius
20. Techniques Used Enhance brightness to make digital photos of presentation quality
22. Outcomes of developing this Digital Imaging Project I learned to take better digital photos and pay closer attention to camera settings
There wasn’t a picture that I couldn’t fix with Photoshop Elements 3.0
Excellent tech support allowed me to navigate the program with ease and frustration free! (Thanks Goose!)
The program is user friendly and I didn’t realize how many tools I used until I analyzed the presentation.
23. Other subject ideas Digital images can be taken of students and then enhanced to teach foreign language vocabulary
Language Arts teachers can use it in creating poems and literary pieces (story boards and books)
Math teachers can use it in finding “Around the town geometry”
Students can be put in groups and then asked to take pictures of specimens in Science for classification units or examples of geographic features for topographic map making in Social Studies
