A series of an lessons and assignments to teach students Inkscape. 

So I've been watching Ben Rimes' posts for DS106 go by and I keep thinking I should give that a try. I was inspired by the Return to the Silent Era assignment, so after watching a couple other people's submissions I figured I'd jump in. One of the things keeping from trying any ds106 assignment before was a lack of expensive software. Ben always uses high end programs like Adobe Premier and Photoshop that I don't have. How could I possibly do any of the cool stuff he does. Well, I decided to see if I could do the whole thing using only my iPad. It also gave me an excuse to buy Avid Studio, an app I've been looking at since it came out. Apps I used: Avid Studio $4.99 - For video editing Blux Movie (free right now) - I shot the movie with Blux. PhotoShop Express and SketchBook Express (free) - To create the placards. I added the text in Avid Studio iSuper8 (free) - Final aging effects added.

A birthday card created in Photoshop (I'm assuming) that uses texturing in its creation. Should be an easy assignment for TGJ Comm Tech students. Links to original photo and texture are included. 

A basic video tutorial covering text, stroke and fill, and filters.

This video would make an excellent starting point for an assignment related to issues in advertising (and beyond).

These images are free to use in your creative works. 

These are an awesome find! Thanks Peter!

If you are a mini-plan Ning user frustrated that you can't post video and audio, Edmodo may be the answer. It's actually a lot like PB Works. Students won't be able to customize their own page but you can add multiple files to an assignment post.
