Blog for Monday, October 17, 2011
I suppose today I should talk about the rest of “Closing the
Gap”.
One of the sessions that I attended on Friday was about
Comic Life and Adobe Pro. Comic Life is
a program where a student can easily create a comic book/strip. Our presenter showed us how to take what a
student creates in Comic Life and make it come alive by putting it into Adobe
Pro. I have had Adobe Pro on my laptop
for the last year and have used it to edit pdfs, but not in the way that I
learned on Friday.
Our presenter taught us how to incorporate sound and video
into a pdf, which a student can put on a jump drive and take how for his/her
parents to view/interact with on Adobe Reader.
This session provided me with the tools that I need to make Adobe Pro
one of the most important tools that I can use.
One of the great things about “Closing the Gap” is that, in
an effort to be sustainable (ie. Environmentally friendly), all of the
presentations (PowerPoints, etc.) are available online (check out my tweet for
how to access those). Everything that I
have blogged about has handouts that you can look over, so even if you weren’t
at “Closing the Gap”, you can still use the information covered there.
