teaching journal

teach-banner.jpg

I started teaching in 2003, shortly after I graduated from college. I taught everything and anything to do with photography, video, and art. I find teaching and learning addictive and enjoy sharing my passion with others.

This is an ongoing journal of my love of learning and teaching. Interesting things I find about teaching and learning, stuff I need to remember, and things I like to reflect on are all added here.

I Have Something To Say But My Writing Sucks

April 17, 2018

Tips For The Savvy Creative:

We visual creatives have an aversion to writing. For those starting out writing about your work and your process is so important. It shows depth and online search algorithms still index text better than images. Instagram posts perform better with more written content using keywords that reflect your hashtags.

Everyone has something to say and in today’s app rich world there is no excuse not to write. Services like Grammerly assist with spelling & grammar. To help you get to the point and be clearer though use the free Hemingway App. Tips aim for a Grade 9 reading level & practice, create on!!

F*uck Social Media Image Sizing!!

April 10, 2018

Tips For The Savvy Creative:

As creatives we like things done right, but when it comes to sharing on social media we want things done fast. Nothing is more of a social media buzz kill than trying to figure out sizing for your epic image post. Or worse having to scramble to delete an incorrectly sized post before anyone likes it.

There is an app for your social media woes Hootsuite Enhance.  It has all the images sizes preloaded!!

The app is integrated into the Hootsuite app.  If you don’t use Hootsuite it can post direct to social media or save to your photos. It also has text, shapes & image editing, create on!!
