Beginning Digital Photography Course 380 Slides: Modern, Fun, Easy to Use

This resource includes 380 Google Slides with 20 lessons and a final project. Lessons include teacher presentation slides and student assignments. Everything you need to start teaching intro to digital photo, start a camera club, or enhance your yearbook program is all here. You can start tomorrow! When I started teaching CTE photography, I didn't have a curriculum. I searched for something I could use but so much was outdated and dry. Sooooo I made my own! These lessons have been successfully presented to my middle school students but could definitely work for older or younger students. Almost everything is completely editable!

Each lesson includes teacher slides to present and student slides with a place to share their work along with activities and/or researching a current photographer who uses the technique being taught. There are lots of videos to show to get students excited about going further in photography!
