Somewhere
along the line I stumbled upon a website called Photoshop Ping Pong.
This intrigued me. It is open to the world. The idea is that one
student finds an image and posts it. Another student picks up the image
and makes a change to it and repost it. This goes back and forth for
five rounds, for a total of ten rounds. Students rate their posts and
the best rating wins.
I
thought why not start this through Moodle so that it would be geared
just toward high school students. I would start of small - just between
two students in independent study. Then move on to getting Graphic
Design 2 students involved. Next, I sent an e-mail to the two other
high school Graphic Design teachers in our district (at different high
schools). So far the other schools are considering it. There is a
technical difficulty hoop I need to get past before I can bring this
outside of the school district. I created a Moodle with no enrollment
key on our district Moodle site just for Photoshop Ping Pong. The hitch
is that only students with an our school e-mail address (whether real
or not) can register with our Moodle. I will need to see how we can
work with this hitch, because my next idea is to post something on the
Facebook Adobe Education Leaders Facebook page and possibly the Adobe
Education Exchange website looking for teachers interested in having
their high school students participate. The exciting thing about this,
is that it will have worldwide impact. Who knows, just thought I would
give it a try this year.
