Digital Photography Class - Available at School Auction

Digital Photo Class

This is a special opportunity for 5 middle school students to attend a digital photo class at the Eighth Floor. The Eighth Floor is a technology and learning center for educators only. They have graciously opened up a special class for All Saints to bring 5 middle school students along with several of our teachers to attend the following digital photo class –

WORKING WITH DIGITAL IMAGES
You’ve taken some great pictures, but they don’t look exactly like you want. What can you do? Participants will explore what they CAN do with a digital picture once it’s on the camera using Picasa – a free Web 2.0 tool. We’ll discuss cropping, sizing, color adjustment, storage, and getting pictures ready for the web, PowerPoint, or print.

This special class will be offered:

Monday, March 2, 2009
4:00 – 5:30
The Eighth Floor
6111 E. Skelly Dr
Tulsa, OK 74135

Students will be excused at 2:30 to meet at Panera Bread located at 41 & Hudson for a snack before class. Parents will be responsible for their child’s transportation.

Auction Project - Coloring Book

The middle school students worked on a project for the auction in February. They learned how to edit clip art to remove the color. This process leaves the black outline which makes it perfect for a coloring page. Then by adding a couple sentences, their page was complete.

These books will be available for purchase the night of the auction.

Letters to the Military

Students in grades 1 - 5th typed letters to a former student of Ms. Cannon's who is in the military protecting our country. Raymond will truly appreciate the creative artwork along with the personal letters.

Concentration.

One of our Pre-K students demonstrates how much concentration is required in Computer Class. The students look forward to working on the computers in the Lab.

Music Survey Form

Students created a form in class during Middle School Tech Ed. This form was a music survey where they needed to utilize form fields and check box fields. The final step the students completed was protecting the form by locking it with a password.

Halloween is in the Air!

Expressions of Halloween in the computer lab.

Middle school students are encouraged to go to http://www.typingtest.com/ to practice their keyboarding. They took their first test on Friday and saved a copy in their file. We will continue to test them thoughout the year to compare their scores. Hopefully they will be able to see improvement. Keep practicing at home.
