FINAL PROJECT IDEAS

As with most people on the planet... I'm indecisive, sometimes and impulsive occasionally.
Some ideas that have passed through the cheese grader have either failed to excite me or the technical execution has discouraged me.

FLASHER!
This teaching tool would be for junior photographers at a middle to highschool level. It would cover basics on how to use flash in a photograph. Assuming the students had access to a DSLR camera and some sort of strobe, I would create 3 videos to cover different lighting situations.  Gear would not be emphasized, just the basics of how to incorporate a burst of light into a photograph.


SMARTBOARD
In some counties, Smartboards are in every classroom. It is often that the incorporation of a Smartboard is a mandatory aspect of the Standards of Learning. Since most teachers are new to a smartboard, they will soon be required to be literate in something they know nothing about. I would first have to learn the smartboard basics and then create short and basic videos walking through some of the features of a smartboard.

GYOTAKU
Japanese fishprinting would be explained and demonstrated for elementary aged students. Good cleanliness habits would be stressed, hands-on-the-fish would be encouraged and Japanese costumes would be incorporated in the demonstration video. This would serve as a cultural exploration into an old tradition of documenting fish size to serve as a trophy. My adolescence in Japan would greatly influence the flavor of this video.
