Assigned: 14 February 2012
Due: in class 21 February 2012
Points: 10 points

Chao Cac Ban!

Great work last week in completing your assignments. I emailed ICT grades out this morning so you should have those in your inbox. If you did not receive a score of 10, you must not have submitted all the work. If there you have time at the end of class, please finish last week's assignment. If you don't finish in class you will need to finish at home.

For the remainder of the year we will be using our gmail accounts because they are connected to our blogs and google docs. So you should be sending emails to me at sis.kristin.romberg@gmail.com in order to get credit for your assignments.

Today we are going to look at a few different kinds of journals and start keeping a daily photo journal using our blog.

Online journals are kept for many different reasons, but most have a purpose. Let's look at a few:

This week's assignment:
  • Keep a daily photo journal, which means taking at least 1 photo every day. 
  • Next week we will be uploading the photos and posting them to our blogs.
Here are a few very basic photo tips to get you started (we'll explore a lot more as the term continues):
  • Don't just shoot! Think about the shot before taking it - set it up so it looks as good as possible
  • Background & Foreground
  • Use natural lighting if possible in most situations
  • Take a few shots, changing small things, so you get one you like in the end
  • Be creative!
This week is really about exploring your camera and trying new things - and making it a habit you do every day (at least once). So get out there and get creative!

Good luck!
