[Year 12 IPM] Digital Photography

[Peter Ruwoldt]

Hi all

I am interested to hear what other states are doing regarding ‘Digital 
Photography’. It is quite likely that it is not offered under IT (it is 
not in SA and it fits under the Technology curriculum statement – in 
some schools it might be an Art subject). It is related to IT for me as 
I have a role of supporting ICT use across the curriculum and I suspect 
many of the people on this list are likely to have a role like this as well.

   1. Are the Digital Photography courses offered in your school
      focusing on producing products on paper or publishing via
      electronic means or both?

   2. In SA I am told that the students getting the high marks are the
      students and schools who are producing their work with paper
      publication as the focus. (This of course may be just their
      interpretation of things for whatever reason) Is this something
      that you have noticed in your school/state?

   3. What is the a prevailing attitude around where digital photography
      should be going as a subject – eg “we should only dabble in
      electronic publication, our real focus is and always should be
      with paper” or “maybe digital photography should be focused on
      digital publication and dabble with paper”.

Thanks in anticipation of your responses

Peter
