These tutorials were created for my students during lockdown to allow them to continue learning from home independently without me.

A complete set of free mobile/cell phone photography resources. Most include a video tutorial and resources for students to easily follow. This set of resources was collated using posts on social media (each one credited with the original creators name) during lockdown. These helped my students to continue to learn whilst remote learning at home. I am sharing them to support the wider school community during these challenging times. I am now using them as homework exercises for my BTEC Creative Media students, but they could certainly be given to Photography students using mobile/cell phones in school. As they mostly contain video tutorials and instructions these could also be left for a non specialist teacher to deliver. Please review and share to anyone you feel would benefit them.

A complete set of video tutorials and resources leading students through a variety of creative photography activities. Each project includes a video tutorial demonstrating how students should take the photographs using only found objects and locations around their home. Then they are taught how to edit their photograph using Photopea (a free web based image editing software similar to Photoshop). Students will be able to undertake these projects independently from the class teacher and therefore make for ideal remote learning practical activities. All activities can be undertaken using the students mobile/cell phone. These resources would link with Photography, BTEC Creative Media, OCR iMedia, KS3 and KS4 Computing and Digital Art and Design courses. These resources were created for my students during lockdown so that they could continue to learn from home. I am sharing to support the wider school community during these challenging times.
