If you teach media or journalism in today’s classroom, you need to know your tech. I can’t say enough how important this is and I often can’t believe it when a fellow media teacher tells me that he/she does not understand computers.
Just today I spent much of my non-teaching time dealing with a printer [...]
If you hate having to learn photoshop or if you hate teaching photoshop to students who sometimes just don’t care – then this VERY SARCASTIC series of videos is for you. This is NOT SAFE FOR SCHOOL and has BAD LANGUAGE. But if you need a few good laughs at home after a bad day [...]
There is a great article in the New York Times today about the discovery of Spanish Civil War photographer Rober Capa’s lost negative cases. This is a really great part of photojournalism history. Thanks to Mark Hamilton at Notes from a Teacher for the tip.
If you’re my age or near it, then you will remember The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and the Wayback Machine. If you teach web design, html or css – then this will be a fun lesson to your students who were only between the ages of 2 and 6 (if in high school) [...]

The Penn State Faculty Media Center has great tutorials for iMovie, Garage Band, Photoshop, Final Cut, Adobe Premiere, and more.
Training Tools.com had great tutorials for older software like Photoshop 5-6-7, or Dreamweaver 2-4. Check it [...]
digital Photography School has a great graphic on how much their readers paid for their most recent camera purchase. The numbers are lower, but still pricey. They also have two other polls about the age of the camera and the preferred software platform. Worth a look before buying a new camera.
The University of California has a great site called the Knight Digital Media Center. It looks like it is still developing, but they have tutorials for web design, video, audio, reporting, photography and more. Props to News Videographer for setting me down the road to finding this site.
Great documentary film about the typeface Helvetica. Really interesting if you are into type. You could show bits of it in class to show the history of printing and how typefaces really work. Here’s the web site for the film where you can buy a DVD copy of it. Of course you [...]
If you are a young talented writer, photographer or video journalist – why would you want to go into newspaper journalism or to a lesser extent television? The journalism iconoclast has a great post about how journalism is bleeding out its brightest and youngest talent.
And the question you have to ask is why would someone [...]
Thanks to Journalistopia for a link to HowJSay. This is a really cool site for radio or television journalists who need to know how do you say that? I would think all multimedia journalists will want to bookmark it.
