download it from Adobe's website. It is a more basic version than
photoshop express, but still "fancy" enough to crop, rotate, adjust,
color, etc...all the basics a student should need.

Subject: Re: ISED: Digital Photography Class
Barbara,
I haven't taught a photography class, but did teach a digital media
class this year. We used GIMP and found it to be quite complex, but I
didn't know about GIMPshop. =20
My suggestion, if this fits into your curriculum, is to use a free
program called, PhotoStory 3. It's a Windows add-on and can be
downloaded from Microsoft for free. It allows students to touch up
digital pictures, alter images in a few simple ways, add text and music
and even their own voices. My students loved it (Middle school
students). =20
Hope this helps,

Hi ISEDers:
=20
We are launching a digital photography class next year in our upper
school
and would like to call upon the expertise of the ISED group to get past
the
initial stages of putting this together. We will be using a mac lab and
plan to purchase Adobe Photoshop for each computer. The class size will
be
no more than 12. There will be no required course beforehand.
=20
Here are some questions:
Do you charge a lab fee? If so, how much and what does it cover?
Do you use Adobe Photoshop? Where did you purchase it and how much did
it
cost?
Do the students bring their own cameras? If so, do you specify a
certain
brand or model?
If students bring their own cameras, do they leave them at school during
the
week? How do you provide security for the cameras?
What kind of printer do you have available for printing? Why did you
choose
it (ink jet vs. laser)? How did you estimate the cost of the color
cartridges/toner cartridges?
=20
What questions have I not asked?
=20
In advance, I thank you all for your input and your recommendations.
