teaching photoshop

Hey all

My buddy is a teacher in an elementary school an hour outside NYC and has asked me to teach with him 2 classes- Photoshop and Front Page. I can teach him about both and he can teach me how to teach.

Student in our class will be other teachers- taking the class for credits geared towards a bump in pay raise. Not sure how this works in other states, but new york public school teachers, once they get their masters degrees- have an opportunity to get a raise if they amass 60 credits. Classes range from traditional in class introduction to Word . . . to walking tour of the history of new york city. Classes are 15 hours and very laid back- we’ll do 2 consecutive saturdays.

Most teachers just want the credits and could care less about the subject matter. For me it would give me some side cash and some great experience I’m not getting in my current job- sitting in front of a computer all day long!

So my question is since PS is such a diverse program- what types of basic things should I focus on? Re-touching photographs?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I suppose if it is for teachers that are not looking to actually use the knowledge in a classroom setting I would focus on retouching photo's as you said. Maybe color adjustments, converting to black and white, adding text to an image, the stamp tool, the difference between web images (72dpi) and print images (300dpi), and maybe something fun like superimposing. But hey you could do just about anything!! Let us know what you come up with.
