Adobe CS3 is a highly integrated suite of design tools commonly used in the field of visual communications. This workshop will focus on how two of these applications, Photoshop and Ilustrator, can be used creatively in the 21st century classroom to create student centered, media-rich projects. Through successful classroom examples we will see how using these new tools to work "outside of one's comfort zone" leverages not only creativity, but problem solving and higher order thinking skills.
Alycia Scott-Hiser is Academic Technology Director at the Noble and Greenough School. A lifelong artist whose original interest in technology was as a tool for making art, Ms. Scott-Hiser has been teaching media classes at both the high school and college level starting in the early 90s when Adobe Photoshop and other digital imaging tools were brand new. For four years she developed and taught a variety of technology classes at a one-to-one laptop school in Boston. This experience broadened her interest in academic technology across the curriculum. During her years at Nobles she has facilitated various collaborative, content-based, multimedia projects by leveraging student interest and student facility with emerging technologies.
