Digital Literacy & Expression: WED/THU: Partner Proposals, Google Photos online & our first album

"[Photography] is an immediate sketch, done with intuition,

and you can't [really] correct it..."

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Daily Learning Target(s):

I can make an intelligent choice about who I work with
I will learn to take better pictures - even with a crappy camera

[I can prepare my phone for the photo unit if for some reason I STILL have not done so]

Homework:

The Extra Credit Photo Challenges: To be turned in via your PHOTO BLOG
Take photos... If you LIKE the photos you take can you explain WHY you like them more than just talking about liking the subject of the photo?

Announcements:

We are going out this month to take nature pictures around the lake, portraits and more!

You must be willing to actually walk outside

Photo Unit Reminders & Resources:

Your Photo Portfolio BLOG!
Bring Fully Charged Cell Phones and Cameras
John will mock your diagonal pictures unless you can tell him why you took it that way
All photos taken must be ONLINE before the next class - we do NOT upload our cell phone photos in class.

Agenda: [100]

Partner Proposals & New Seats [30]

Everyone should be ready to move - log out of your computer
When YOU and your Partner are ready go line up outside the door with your stuff. Pay attention to your place in line - do not allow cutting
Groups of FOUR (TWO partnerships) can propose adjacent seating & should line up together
Once you have new seats go to your new computer and go to your blogger site at www.blogger.com

Whilst you are waiting, follow the instructions below to change your privacy & comment settings.

Then poke around, what other kinds of things are changeable?

Changing your blogger settings

Change your privacy settings if you don't want people to be able to find your blog by searching on Google (anyone with the address will be able to see it - your work is still public on the internet, just not searchable)

Change your Post & Comment settings

Set your posts to show at most "1 days on the main page"

Each assignment will be considered a "day"

Set comments to "users with Google accounts"

This prevents anonymous comments

Set comment moderation to "always"

This puts YOU in charge of which comments are published alongside your Photos and Reflections

You can disable comments entirely by hiding them

I think...

Google Photos [60]

Finding your photos

Which google account are they backed up to?

IF our photos are NOT in our School Account

SELECT the FIRST ONE using the CIRCLE in the upper LEFT corner of the picture (when looking at a bunch of pictures)
Hold down SHIFT and select the LAST ONE
SHARE them to your school account using the share menu

Find your photos! Look in the notifications if you can't!
ADD the shared photos to your school account using the cloud/arrow button
Once you have the photos in your school account SELECT them and put them in an album
NAME the album something that makes sense - put the words PHOTO WALK #1 in the name (I used a name that works for me-can you figure out what it means?)
Look through your photos and FAVORITE the ones you might want to submit using the STAR in the upper RIGHT corner of the picture (when looking at a single picture)
Selecting your photos
