Photo Information

Most business books on social media have focused exclusively on using it as a marketing tool. Many employers see it as simply a workplace distraction. But social media has the potential to revolutionize workplace learning. People have always learned best from one another—social media enables this to happen unrestricted by physical location and in all kinds of extraordinarily creative ways. The New Social Learning is the most authoritative guide available to leveraging these powerful new technologies.

Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner explain why social media is the ideal solution to some of the most pressing educational challenges organizations face today, such as a widely dispersed workforce and striking differences in learning styles, particularly across generations. They definitively answer common objections to using social media as a training tool and show how to win over even the most resistant employees. Then, using examples from a wide range of organizations—including Deloitte & Touche, IBM, TELUS, and even the CIA—Bingham and Conner help readers sort through the dizzying array of technological options available and decide when and how to use each one to achieve key strategic goals.

“A must-read paper that focuses on the need to develop meaningful career training as a part of comprehensive school reform. Career training has been ignored for far too long, but is essential if we’re going to address the “career-ready” piece of the puzzle that, along with the “college-ready” piece, is now all the buzz.”
- Joel I. Klein, Chancellor, New York City Public Schools (2002-2010)

“This thoughtful paper makes a strong case for the development of multiple pathways leading from high school to post-secondary education or career training. Those of us who support a single-track system through high school need to carefully consider the questions raised in this provocative report.”
- Phil Bredesen, Governor of Tennessee (2003-2011)

“Preparing tomorrow’s future leaders is a responsibility we all share. Pathways to Prosperity provides a clear way forward that demands the attention and participation of every sector working together to ensure our future success.”
- Sanford I. Weill, Chairman Emeritus, Citigroup and Chairman, National Academy Foundation

“Pathways to Prosperity opens the door to new strategies that can help a broader range of Americans, including the rapidly growing Latino population, gain the meaningful work and educational experiences they need to earn degrees and higher salaries, helping to create better jobs and a stronger workforce. The report reminds us that in order to close achievement gaps, we must develop a more effective and holistic strategy to develop human capital.”
- Sarita E. Brown, President, Excelencia in Education
“Anyone who cares about the future of America should read this report. Our nation’s adolescents and young adults must be better prepared for today’s and tomorrow’s more technical jobs. We cannot afford to leave anyone behind.”
- George R. Boggs, President and CEO, American Association of Community Colleges

1st period Pre Algebra

2nd, 4th, 5th Viscom.

These students are going to do presentations. each presentation will VERY short- maybe 2 minutes.
Here is what they should talk about
1. Why they chose this project
2. What they have (show it - or listen to it)
3. what was hard or easy

I would like you to check off the following 5 things
1. Did they have the project write up. (on the table)
2. Did project match write up ( small changes are ok)
3. Did they give you a print out (proof of the project for me to see) of the project (picture or screen shot)
4. Did they give you the “time on task” papers
5. Did they participate with the class (pay attention)

just check if they did - leave blank if they did not. I will be checking the actual projects next week but I want to see if they have everything on time (part of overall grade)

The beginning students will be a little different. They will be turning in a logo and a “business card” they will NOT have a time on task paper.

http://www.jobsetc.gc.ca/toolbox/quizzes/quizzes_home.do?&lang=e

You must take this quiz in the safari web browser - If you take it in Firefox you will not be able to get your results at the end of the quiz!

Wright’s class take the Multiple intelligences quiz and print the page that shows you the final results

you will use these results in making your business card (see requirements below)

1. 4-5 photos that show “Depth of field”
It can be a large or a small depth of field.

2. 4-5 photos that control “motion”
Either that have a slight blur - (think Tony Hawk from the video) or totally stop the motion

3. 4-5 photos that are of your choice.
Included in this grouping you need to have a picture that copies your Downloaded photo and the picture from the point and shoot camera

In the power point you need the following.

a Slide (or 2 or 3) describing ” Depth of Field” So that a beginner could understand it, followed by your depth of field photos.

a Slide (or 2 or 3) describing “Motion” or Controlling motion - So that a beginner could understand it, followed by your motion photos

Your photos that are of your choice.

End with your Downloaded photo - then the point and shoot copy and finally your copy with manual settings

Check out this incredible project, http://vimeo.com/groups/beyondthestill

You are going to research a person from Apples “Think Different” Campaign from the 80’s/90’s.

Choose one of the characters that made their way onto one of the Apple posters (many of which are on the wall in the classroom) - Make sure you choose one that interests you.

Find the following information about that person:

Who are they, Why they are famous, when did they live (some are still alive - others are not), how were they different than other people in their field.

Give me a summary of that information and include a paragraph about why you think they were a good choice for a poster.

Part 2

Find a person of your interests that you think should be on a poster who is not.  The person could be a Musician, photography, movie industry etc.  As long as you can make a valid argument that they belong on a poster.

Tell me the following about that person.:  Who are they, what do they do, why are they famous, How are they different than others in their field. and conclude with why you think they deserve a poster.

The 2 parts together should be about 2 pages long TYPED.  I want you to include a reference to where you got your information so that we can check your facts.

Due Friday Feb 11th

Here is the original Advertisement

Here is our assignment for this week.

- find a group of photographs (2 or more) - they can be ones that you took or not.

- Blend those photographs together into 1 picture using the following tools:

Crop, Eraser, layer mask, quick mask, smudge tool, and any other tool that might help you.

The idea is to make the picture appear as it is ONE photo not a collage of photos.

We will be looking at the pictures at the beginning of the period on Friday
