Edit and Animate Photos

Assignment Title: Photo Editing




Uses in the Classroom:  This activity could be used for a variety of ages and skill levels.  Basic photo editing could be an activity easily learned by upper elementary grades.  Advanced photo editing may fit the skills for middle school students and up.  Students could select photos from a photo bank provided by the teacher or the students could edit photos they took themselves.  Skills utilized in this activity include comparing (unedited photos and edited photos), explaining (if the student is required to narrate the process), attributing (when defining what has been changed with editing), critiquing (their edited photos), and designing/producing (the finished product).

Issues to Consider: Basic computer skills are required for beginning photo editing and more advanced skills are required for animation.  Computer access and photo editing software, such as Adobe Photo Shop, is needed.
