For my ILP #1, I chose to complete a Lynda.com tutorial on a PhotoShop technique. I have previous experience with PhotoShop, but I haven't been able to learn any new skills recently and I thought I should keep my interests up. I chose a video in the series "Design the Web: Video and Animation" on animating a graphic used in a video. The tutorial was excellent because the editor was very thorough and took his time to explain as he was performing the task. I thought it was interesting that Lynda.com offered a follow-along-at-home style exercise section that a student could potentially complete while listening to/watching the video. If I had access to PhotoShop from home, I would certainly be interested in trying out more PhotoShop tutorials.
Included below are screenshots of various points in time in the video. I have also attached pictures of the notes I took while watching the video. (There was a cool option to take notes on the site as the video was going along, which could also be uploaded to Google Drive, but I prefer to handwrite my notes in any event.)
Hey! This is awesome, I find that having photoshop skills come in handy as a teacher and trying to design graphics for students. Whether it be a cool graphic for students to remember formulas or essay structures, photoshop is a great skill set. This is awesome!
