Adobe Digital Creativity in the Classroom

I have been participating in the Adobe Digital Creativity in the Classroom class for the past few weeks.  I have learned how to use Photoshop, Flash, Premiere, and Blogs.  It has definitely peaked my interest, even though for the most part I learned just enough to "be dangerous".  But I do want to learn more about each one of these softwares. (I teach Premiere, so that part was easiest.)  I am pretty particular, so I spent a lot of time trying to complete each assignment so the class was a little time consuming for me.  I didn't want to fail!  I am sure I will take more classes in the future, as I want to continue learning about the various Adobe products as well as growing in my creativity.  Thanks for a great class!

My experience or lack of experience.

As you can see, I am not good at blogging.  I titled my blog Welcome and can't find where to change it, thus my first blog mistake.

I, like others in the class, have been shying away from using blogs and wikis.  Since I teach digital media, I spend time each semester trying to keep my students focused and off of Facebook and the like.  I too felt that I didn't have anything of importance to say on a blog.  I've watched the videos offered in this class and have enjoyed them, but still struggled with the step by step creation of a blog.  I understand that once you start a blog the topics will flow and writing will become easier.

In my classroom, we are using our learning management system to post our InDesign projects and then the students comment on classmates projects.  The comments have been outstanding.  Students are being very professional and are offering excellent, constructive suggestions for improvement on classmates projects.  Maybe we could start our own blog and post the projects and comments on a blog instead?
