Robin Hutton will present
Flickr as a tool in the classroom
This presentation is an introduction to Flickr that will examine the Yahoo based photo sharing web site and show how teachers can use it in the classroom through both the primary and secondary years.
Robin’s key focus is “using technology as a tool, not a toy” in the classroom. The Flickr experience is one that schools can use as an introduction to the way that the web can become an integral part of the students learning journey and enable them to share their ideas and images with a wider community.
To see what can be done go to http://www.flickr.com/people/robinhutton/ where Robin has his Flickr site. Alternatively, just Google “Robin Hutton” and Robin’s Flickr site will usually be the first site on the list.
Intended Audience: Primary, Middle School, Secondary

Let creativity triumph!
Using a bitmap editor as a tool rather than a toy
In this presentation Robin will examine various ways of using bitmap editors such as Photoshop, Fireworks, PaintShop Pro, etc, to create original artwork or simply enhance or manipulate existing images.
Robin is an artist who has worked with most media from charcoal drawings to sculpture. He has found that much of what was possible with other image creating media can be fully emulated using computer technology. Robin has developed ways that students can be more artistically original and creative using the computer. His ideas and methodology works across curriculum boundaries and allows the students to integrate art skills in all their work.
