E-Portfolio SupportMarch 8, 2011 8:07 AMIf you need help preparing your e-portfolio, please read below:

First, Kati Lewis, the Library staff, and I are offering free ePortfolio workshops all semester long. If you have students in your classes who have not yet started their ePortfolio, please suggest that they sign up for a workshop at this address: http://libweb.slcc.edu/refilt/forms/eportfolio.

Second, Kati will be holding free Reflective Writing Workshops after Spring Break to help students understand the purpose and importance of reflection in writing (and other forms of media). The workshops are also intended to help students become better reflective thinkers and writers, create meaningful reflections for their General Education courses, and provide further context for the General Education ePortfolios that they build. The workshop schedule is below. Please share it with your students. NOTE: all workshops will be held at the Redwood campus in the Administration Building.

Now that we have completed the critiques of our composition assignment, what did you take away from class? How will you use this new information to improve your photography? Were the critiques an effective way to learn technique?
 
M/W class: Nice job on the advertisement assignment.  I have posted the composition assignment. Remember Monday is a lab day, but I will be available for one on one help if needed. Have fun!

M/W Class: Nice job today in class. We have finally figured the secret to putting together the exposure triangle. How is the the newfound knowledge on exposure going to change how you use photography to create your images?

I pose the question: Have we taken photography to the fast food level. What do we need to do to bring photography back to capturing the moment. Has the access to point and shoot cameras diminished the art?
 
M/W Class: Good job last night. Aperture is a tough concept, but ill be beneficial as you become more creative. How do you think you will use this new technique? 
 
T/Th class: We have completed the anatomy of the camera and are now ready to use that knowledge. What do you think will be the most used function on your camera and why. What do you think will be the least used. If you are using film, what functions will you look for when it is time to purchase a new camera? 


Please remember to practice today shooting images. Note the function you used, and be ready to explain why.
