31 Spooky Ways to Integrate Adobe Software in Higher Education (Post 6/31) - Introduction to the Series!

Readers,

I teach communication courses and I am always eager to integrate fun (but informative) quizzes in the face-to-face class and also in the online classes. This activity is titled "Real or Fake" and was created by the Adobe Company. This interactive activity would be GREAT for web-editing, media writing, or photo journalism classes.

Try It Out Now!

During the past few weeks, the Adobe company has released a few "Real or Fake" activities on their website. Check them out here:

Submit a Real or Fake Photo!

Viewers are also invited to submit a photo to the "Real or Fake"project! 

Sincerely,

31 Spooky Ways to Integrate Adobe Software in Higher Education (Post 5/31) - Flyer for Social Media Conference 2011

Readers,

This year, we founded the Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI) at Tarleton State University! We are very excited about sponsoring the Social Media Conference in December and we have been working (in a large group) to create and edit the flyer for the conference. I love the way that Indesign users can create the flyer and easily export the file in PDF or JPEG format. These formats enable me to attach the flyer to e-mails soliciting feedback from the conference planning committee.

This was my first experience with QR codes and I think it worked out very well! I hope to use them in the future! Thanks Yvonne!

We plan to post the flyer on our conference website via a Google Docs link.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

31 Spooky Ways to Integrate Adobe Software in Higher Education (Post 4/31) - Environmental Communication Week Verification Form (University-Wide Initiative)

Readers,

Every fall and spring semester, our department sponsors amazing initiatives for the campus and community! To provide workshop verification forms for the students (and their professors), I created this verification form (using Adobe Indesign) for each participant. This form is the size of a regular sheet of paper (landscape). After attending each event, we used a large hole punch (a tree) to verify their attendance during the event.

The students enjoyed this format and also it was a great way for the planning committee to create the "Environmental Communication Awareness" certificates for each participant.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

31 Spooky Ways to Integrate Adobe Software in Higher Education (Post 3/31) - Wandering Wednesdays - Adobe Education Technologies Blog

Readers,

While I am an intermediate user of Adobe products, I am an avid user of Google and Youtube searches to find innovative videos and step-by-step instructions to discover how to use a feature (or two) on Indesign and Photoshop.

This week's blog, Adobe Education Technologies, focuses on the integration of Adobe products in K-12 and higher education. This is a valuable resource for faculty members who seek to discover how to use the innovative features on the Adobe programs and who are also eager to discover ideas focused on how they can use the programs in their classes/departments.

Their last few posts focused on the following:

Publish Photoshop 3D layers to PDF

Underserved Youth + World + Media = Adobe Youth Voices! 

Updated Adobe Acrobat X PDF Portfolio Layout

Adobe FormsCentral Skip Logic

Personally, I am particularly interested in the Adobe FormsCentral! More information to come! Enjoy!

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
