Adobe Digital School Collection: Technology Motivates Students in the Classroom
mary | 26 February, 2007 10:22
Adobe Digital School Collection gives teens the tools to express their technical wizardy.
Classroom teachers know that state standards rather than digital gadgets drive instruction. But truth be told, it's often the technology that motivates students to do the work.
The success of Apple's iPod and Web sites like MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube suggests that tweens (ages 8–13) and teens alike appreciate opportunities to share messages, audio files, photos, and video clips with online friends. Adobe's Digital School Collection turns their love of techno-wizardry into a teachable moment, enabling them to construct digital narratives focused on classroom instruction. If students know they are going public with their work, they will be much more inclined to put in their best effort. This collection of digital communication tools includes four popular Adobe applications: Photoshop Elements 5.0, Premiere Elements 3.0, Contribute 4, and Acrobat 8 Professional. It also has a teacher resource CD with lesson plans and assessments for science, history, civics, and art, plus hands-on tutorials, technical guides, teaching advice, images, videos, and links to online educational resources. I'll examine each product's highlights.
