REMINDER - Vote for the BEST IDEA - "Great Ideas for Teaching With Adobe Products" Contest


Readers,


Greetings everyone!

Here are the entries for the "Great Ideas for Teaching With Adobe Products" Contest! Vote for the BEST IDEA via the Google Form listed at the end of this blog post.

Thanks for your support! :)

The contest ends on March 4, 2012! Please type any questions in the comment section below.

Drs. Edwards and Helvie-Mason

SUBMISSION A - Surreal Animation
Idea Category: Classroom Ideas (Face-to-Face or Hybrid)

Adobe Product: Photoshop

How the Adobe Product Was Used: Students create the animation in Photoshop and then export the video to be edited in either MovieMaker or Premiere Elements.

Idea Description: Students collaborate in pairs to create an animated dream-like surreal animated collage using Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft MovieMaker or Adobe Premiere Elements. Students will compare and contrast the concepts of dream-time or the subconscious in work created by Aboriginals and the 
Surrealist movement with an emphasis on Salvador Dali and Frida Khalo.

SUBMISSION B - Smart Boards And Adobe Connect

Idea Category: Online Instruction/E-Training

Adobe Product: Adobe Connect

How the Adobe Product Was Used: We use adobe connect for education,  for IT remote help, and inter-departmental online meetings

Idea Description: Adobe Connect is a powerfull virtual classroom application which is very suitable for distance learning university programmes. But  in math involved lectures it should be improved that the whiteboard pod can  recognize the math writings turns them into regular math equations and formulas which is input via a smart board. Also the chatpod should be improved for written math conversation between students and the lecturer. For example when i write a latex code between a tag it should render the formula and shows the actual equation.  This should be improved because smart boards are not so smart to recognize the handwritten formulas.


SUBMISSION C - Mobile Game Design Using Flash and Photoshop

Idea Category: Classroom Ideas (Face-to-Face or Hybrid)

Adobe Product: Photoshop, Flash

How the Adobe Product Was Used: 
We use Photoshop to create the graphics that we use inside Flash.  We especially use it for creating seamlessly tiling textures for use in a blitting tile based game engine.  We create sprite graphics that we can use for our character and projectile animation needs.  We use the tools in Photoshop to understand how both additive and subtractive color theory works and pixel density affects the clarity  and sharpness of images and graphics used for projected display and print media.


We use Flash to understand animation, from keyframes to tweening, timing and secondary motion.  We come to grips with the advantages of vector graphics and the drawbacks in terms of performance.  We explore the use of Action Script 3 extensively for use in animation, interaction and game design.  We finish by publishing our files for use on the web, stand alone PC through AIR and for mobile devices through Android and iOS releases.


Idea Description: I currently teach a class in Game Design.  I use Photoshop and Flash almost exclusively to bring the concepts taught in the class to life.

We first take a crash course in Photoshop, learning how the program's tools and functionality work to understand color theory, image resolution and raster graphics.  We create projects that are directly applicable to our game development by learning how to make seemlessly tiling textures, using layers to seperate out parts of a character for use in animation and building graphical user interfaces and heads up displays from scratch.

Afterwards we delve into the world of Flash where we explore all the options and tools that it presents to understand how framerate can affect animation.  We discuss using keyframes to build animations and using tweens to move from keyframe to keyframe.  We explore the differences between vector and raster(bitmap) graphics, the advantages and disadvantages of each as it pertains to game development(especially for mobile devices).  We discover the display list and how we can use it for different effects. We import graphics from Photoshop and become aware how easily we can update our movie clips, character animations and textures while moving from one program to the other.

Once we have become familiar with the graphic and animation capabilities of Flash we then dive into Action Script 3.  We use this as a base to begin learning object oriented programming.  We begin by studying the fundamentals of variables and functions and continue on towards building custom classes and interfaces that allow us an amazing level of interaction and complexity between our existing graphics and user input, be it through keyboard, mouse or touchscreen.  Flash using Action Script enables us to consider new ways to bring ideas to life, where Adobe has opened every creative avenue and inroad is an opportunity for a budding game designer to express themselves in an ever expanding marketplace of potential.  

Our final project is to take the Flash projects we have worked on and publish them for use on both Android and iOS devices.  The ease with which we are able to do this through Flash has really motivated my students' desire to learn how to develop games using the Adobe products.  The time is ripe to take advantage of such a rich feature set to not just build our dreams into reality, but to carve out careers and a deeper appreciation for the world we live in.

Higher Education Faculty/Staff and Stress - "Group Stress Reduction Techniques"

Readers,

Today's post is focused on "Group Stress Reduction Techniques" among faculty and staff  in higher education. To reduce stress, our department often does one or more of the following...

1 - Group Impromptu Meetings - When one higher education professional meets with other higher education professionals, the venting and idea generation process begins! Among the faculty in the communication studies department, our BEST ideas emerge from these meetings (i.e. - nominating another faculty member for an award, etc.).

2 - Eating Lunch and Eating Lunch OFTEN! - The instructors and faculty enjoy spending time with one another and eating! As a result, our meetings usually revolve around food and special celebrations.

3 - Collaborative Writing - My colleagues and I enjoy publishing together. This reduces the amount of stress that we experience when writing articles alone. As a former writer who published alone, it was very hard for me to work with others, but now I value the help!

Do you have any "group stress reduction techniques" to contribute to the list?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Higher Education Faculty/Staff and Stress - Differences Among Women and Men



Readers,

Here is an interesting table focused on stress and the female faculty member. Just look at the differences between male and female faculty members and stress in higher education. Here's the interesting aspect, I do not see ANYTHING related to roles outside of work - family, church, community service, etc.
Percentage Reporting Some or Extensive Stress Related to Certain Job Duties
Duty/Issue Creating StressMenWomen
Teaching load47.557.9
Students49.765.8
Research and publishing67.185.7
Review and promotion44.865.3
Committee work61.674.7


Do these percentages coincide with your experiences in higher education (either as a male or female)?


Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Higher Education Faculty/Staff and Stress - My Stress Reduction Strategies. :)



Readers,

This week is focused on something that everyone who works in the higher education environment usually experiences at one time or another...STRESS! I am focused on stress reduction and the different techniques that people adopt to reduce their stress.

First, I will start with several things that I do when I am stressed out from teaching classes and research.

1 - Graphic Design - I LOVE designing fliers, t-shirts, logos, brochures, etc. Recently, I started designing announcement cards (i.e. - birth announcements, etc.) for friends and family.

2 - Shopping at Thrift Stores - Surprisingly, I enjoy walking around our local Goodwill to discover ideas from other people's projects (i.e. - art projects, holiday projects, clothing projects, gardening, etc.). This is a HUGE stress reducer for me, because I have a small glimpse into another person's life for a small amount of time AND I get to purchase materials for a reduced cost (either to give to friends and family or to re-purpose inside of my own home).

3 - Gardening - I was very excited to start my garden a few weeks ago. I cleared all of my plants from last year (a few of them were still alive - swiss chard, etc.) and I started anew! Now, I have the following plants growing in my garden - red/green/orange/yellow bell peppers, tomatoes, stevia, kale, strawberries, etc.

What do YOU do to reduce your stress from the higher education environment.

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

College Professors - The "Good" , The "Bad", and the "Under Improvement" -


Readers,

My dissertation focused on supports for and barriers to on-time graduation. One of the more interesting parts of the manuscript were focused on the students' perceptions of good and bad professors. Here's a neat video focused on one student's perspective of good and bad professors

College Professors - The "Good" , The "Bad", and the "Under Improvement" - Top Ten Ways to Impress Your College Professor (Psychology Today)


Readers,

I admit, I am the professor who is "under construction". I am always on the lookout for new teaching techniques and tips to help my online and face-to-face students learn the course content. I am one of the only professors in my department who constantly checks out books in the library and via interlibrary loan to learn about new teaching methods to incorporate in my classroom.

This week is dedicated to a few teaching topics that are focused on GOOD TEACHING from various perspectives. The following video is definitely not an example of "good teaching":

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (Your Office Computer)



Readers,

When I started working in higher education, I saved everything and I mean EVERYTHING on my office computer. This was GREAT for awhile and then I started working from home on the weekends (when I worked in student services). 

Unfortunately, I have heard HORROR stories from people who saved their information on office computers that proved to be unreliable for saving data.

Do you still save your data on the office computer?

J. Edwards

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (External Hard Drives)


Readers,

Good morning! Here is one of my least favorite methods of backing up my data....external hard drives. I have lost a wealth of data on external hard drives! In fact, I dislike external hard drives so much that I often discourage my family members from purchasing such items. :)

However, I understand that many people like external hard drives. If they work for you, use them. However, I choose not to use these drives. :)

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (Cloud Computing Drives)




Readers,

Another method that I use for saving data is the CLOUD! To be specific, I use the Google cloud to back up my data! I have definitely consumed the Google Juice, because I rarely use Microsoft Word unless I have to submit an article to a journal. In fact, I have not installed the new version of Word (Word 2010) after purchasing it two years ago. :)

Here is some information about Google Docs - http://docs.google.com/ 

In addition, the Campus Technology Magazine published an article titled, "Sitting on Cloud Mine".

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (USB Drives)


Readers,

I purchased by first USB drive from a Black Friday sale at Walmart in 2003. I was overjoyed with a wealth of emotion because I did not have to save everything on a large portable drive, zip disks, or readable/re-writable CDs/DVDs anymore! It was amazing and it only held 128 MBs! :) 

Unfortunately, that USB drive was not large enough to handle my data and each year I had to upgrade to a larger USB drive. I followed that method for the past 12 years and now I have a 64 GB drive to save my data from my classes and research.

I hate to leave my USB drives in the classroom or even in my office and now I wear a Vera Bradley lanyard. To keep myself motivated, I wear a lanyard that matches my Vera Bradley bag of the year.




Here are some pictures!
Sincerely,

J. Edwards
