Photoshop RemarksNumber 1 most important skill: Cutting
images outOnline tutorials work fine
http://www.good-tutorials.comChoose carefully as some are not well writtenPlay with Photoshop yourself
If you can’t do it blindfolded, how can you teach your kids?

Things to RememberWalk around the room continuously while the
students work on projectsRemind students of techniques they have
learnedSometimes, point out a design flaw
Not always, since students learn from mistakesIf a project is going bad, stop and re-
introduce in another way
![Page 32: The Art of Sneaky Teaching with Print Projects Presented by Jerry Smith Office Technology Instructor Breathitt Area Tech Center](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e3a5503460f94b2c10e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Things to Remember (cont.)Be patient
You didn’t learn DP in one dayNobody is perfect
Use constructive criticismDon’t make fun of a student’s work
Push, push, push the students to stay on taskWhen a student does good work with good
designs, make a HUGE deal out of it
