Participated in a presentation, on the Abode Creative Cloud - 'Low-lift, high impact - Adobe pedagogy-focussed workshop. Hosted by Peter Nock from Ara Institute of Canterbury and facilitated by Manuela Franceschini -Adobe pedagogical evangelist.
Mainly a demonstration of what Creative Cloud is with emphasis on digital story telling.
Began with introducing the post-text future, with the screenage predominating the ways we connect and interact with each other. Story telling is now even more important. However, short form videos (i.e. TikTok), captured, shared and viewed on mobile phones is now predominant.
Being an author means being able to tell the story on many mediums.
Creative skills are now in higher demand., along with analytical skills, ability to solve complex problems, build and maintain relationships etc. Robot-proof higher education in the age of AI
Introduced the concept of 'humanics' where by being human is even more important.
Digital story telling is the creative process of using digital technology as a medium of as a tool of expression. For teaching and learning, not the tools but the skills, not creating media but meaning, not just telling but also contributing a collaboration, not an isolated story but sharing and connecting, not a transfer of knowledge but about amplifying and not substituting analog sources but transforming stories.
Include collecting, connecting and communicating in creating a story. Creative Cloud can be envisaged as a virtual maker space to produce and circulate intellectual work, to critically and creatively create solutions within the context of the 4th industrial revolution.
Shared examples of student work using various Adobe tools / platforms.
Important to support learners to become critical digital creators - not just viewers or users but creators, using evaluative and critical thinking skills.
Demonstrated several examples.- videos, infographics, webpages, etc.
Moved on to focus on Adobe Express - for image/photo editing and Adobe Rush - for video editing - with Jason Grant. Went through the various steps for pre-production, production and post-production to build a story.
