Teachers
of Students in Grades 8–12
The beginning teacher of Digital Graphics/Animation
knows and understands: |
| # | Standard
VIII Subset Definition | My
Knowledge / Proficiency |
| 8.10k | how
to format digital information for appropriate and
effective
communication;
| I
understand the distinctions between various file formats
relative to text, graphic image, video, and sound. I
have a working knowledge of how to create and or embed
multiple file formats into Web pages and other
presentation software in order to produce one "big
picture." |
| 8.11k | how
to deliver a product electronically in a variety of
media; and | I
can deliver media in a variety of forms, including
floppy disk, zip disk, CD-Rom, or DVD-Rom. I would
choose from these forms based on file size and type of
media. For instance, I would choose CD-Rom to deliver a
20MB AVI file because while it would be possible to zip
and break the file up into parts in order to copy it
over onto floppy disk, it would be far easier and more
feasible for the recipient to handle the media as one
file on a CD-Rom. |
| 8.12k | how
to evaluate communication in terms of both process and
product. |
| 8.41s | identify
pictorial qualities in a design, such as shape and form,
space and depth, and pattern and texture, to create
visual unity and desired effects in designs; | Click

| 8.42s | use
a variety of lighting techniques, including shadows and
shading to create an effect; | Click

| 8.43s | define
the design attributes and requirements of products
created for a variety of purposes, including posters,
billboards, business cards, stationery, book jackets,
folders, booklets, pamphlets, brochures, and magazines; | Alignment
is important because it makes for a more appealing
visual as well as an easier read. The most basic types
of alignment are left, center, and right justified.
Also, there is fully justified text that is aligned on
both the left and right sides. Balance of the weight and
placement of visual objects --symmetrical, asymmetrical,
and or radial, white space, and proximity between
objects are all attributes of professional design. |
| 8.44s | use
proximity and alignment to create a visual connection
with other elements; | Click

| 8.45s | publish
information in a variety of formats; | I
am capable of publishing desktop newsletters, Web pages,
brochures, business cards, and other business and
organizational media in an aesthetically pleasing, cost
effective manner. |
| 8.46s | determine
and employ technology specifications to evaluate digital
graphics/animation projects for design, content
delivery, purpose, and
audience; and | I
am and stay apprised of current industry and market
trends to reference when created specifications for
evaluation of student work. I frequently access
professional journals as well as Web organization
devoted to a wide variety of digital media endeavors to
use as a jumping off point for criteria setting. |
| 8.47s | seek
and respond to advice from colleagues and other
professionals in
evaluating a digital graphics/animation product. | I
confer with professionals within the professional
education community as well as industry specialists to
learn and share information. |
