UCET PAPER GOES IN SELF ASSESSMENT PAPER FILE IN WEBCT
Photography:-photography is about telling a story
-good photographers use an image to make a point without words
-people remember pictures of events long after they remember actual event of the words that were spoken
When on assignment:
-distance from subject
-amount of light
-type of activity
Tip 1: Use the rule of thirds-view your pictures as a grid and make sure that the subject of your picture is at one or more of the interesecting lines.
-the most creative and interesting pictures are when the subject isn't smack in the middle
Tip2: Look your subject in the eye-take a photograph of a person, animal or object from their level
Tip 3: Simplify your background-keep it simple and clear
-focus on something up close and have the background blurred; very effective
Tip 4: Be a picture director-avoid taking snapshots
-move subjects around
-sometimes you have the chance to take a photo so always ahve your camera ready
Tip 5: Alter your angle-by altering a camera angle from horizontal to vertical a photo can be a lot more effective
-use nature to fram a shot
-sporting events take pictures of the crowd, the participants and the bench warmers
Tip6: play with the flash
don't use flash indoors to avoid red eye
macro photography is always appealing to the eye
close up photos are a lot more effective
-be spontaneous
-be creative
-take pictures of the unusual
-think before you shoot
-hold camera steady
-digital is easier and faster
-4-6 megapixels is all you really need
-have a good file management system
-point and shoot vs. slr
-avoid cropping as much as possible

II. Virtues of Video: Research Based Practices
Myth: TV viewing is passive
*Video uses both the neocortex (where words are processed) and the limbic system (where pictures are handled) of the brain so it's not a passive experience.
Fact: TV viewing IS active
*When children view TV it is an active process. Kids watch TV that is teaching squares and the kids start looking around for squares.
*using video reinforces language skills and is most effective when combined with other class activities.
Video supports diverse learners-role models they can identify with
-closed captioning or on screen cues
pace can be changed, replay is an option
