We were fortunate to have Ann Marie Quirion Hutton and David Patterson join us yesterday for some professional development for students with the use of "Acorn", the image manipulation software and iMovie as one of several tools for "Digital Storytelling". Our photography students learned new techniques for adjusting digital images and for using images with narration and background sound and music to tell and emphasize the parts of a story.
These photos were tough as lighting was down for the screen projector, so they required some "tweaking"... the top one is David leading some Acorn instruction and the bottom one is Ann Marie dialoging with the class about the power of movement and using the Ken Burns effect in iMovie.
Thanks so much Ann Marie and David, your expertise and genuine interest in the topics you covered were great!
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie and David, thank you for coming in and helping us out! As someone who is very interested in pursuing photography as a minor in college and potentially a career, I really enjoyed learning about Acorn and ways to digitally adjust and improve my photos. I have never before used Acorn, so your workshop was a great help!
ReplyDeleteI had an amazing time learning about how to use acorn in many many more ways. Thank you both so much for coming and teaching us more to learn about Acorn. All the topics that you guys covererd were amazing
ReplyDeleteThank you for spending your time coming down here to teach us about Acorn
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ann Marie and David! I really enjoyed hearing about acorn, because I definitely did not know any of the stuff you all taught us! I've always only used iphoto to edit my photos, but now I can use acorn because I know different filters to use, and how to edit the layers, etc. Thank you so much!!
