...but if nothing else it's been lovely to get back to teaching. Currently focusing on Photoshop as a: I can teach that while falling asleep and off a chair (my current teaching style) and b: I'm supposed to be teaching 3DS Max to two classes but the room doesn't have it installed in yet. Sigh. Actually, according to one of my beloved brats esteemed students this is my teaching style... I do think a nerf gun would help me occasionally in a class. Anyhow: 4 classes in and the students have already made abstract backgrounds for text placement, used non and destructive filters, had a brief soiree into screen ratios and pixel depths, learnt how to use the scanners and printers and knocked out a couple of hand drawn, scanned and coloured images. Hurrah.   ...and for an accidental bonus, while showing the beloved brats esteemed students how to properly use the lasso tool (freehand and keyboard shortcuts FTW) We also drew technicolour lizards :) Which is new to a class (I do occasionally divert from the lesson plan if the shape allows - see the taking a line for a walk pictures I occasionally do) but I think he'll stick to the scheme of work from now on in. Shudder. I am now blogging about lesson plans and schemes of work. The Compliance Dalek has got me. Gutted.
