As a teacher (a real certified and licensed one) this book was rather disappointing. It glosses over the basics and treats photoshop elements as being super important. Sorry, but most kids I know don't own photoshop elements. I was hoping this book would cover more of the history, development, and potential for photography. While many kids love point and shoots, the truth is if you're going to teach them photography they need to understand the fundamentals. The authors discuss megapixels and pro-sumers cameras pretty much from the get go--what happened to the understanding the very basics of what a camera is in the first place? This book needs a massive overhaul.
Nowadays students can easily pick up a used DSLR for the price of a point and shoot (just look up prices for the D100, the D40, and the D50 cameras). A 50mm lens only costs $50-100. And that's all most kids need to really get started. Starting at chapter 5 and continuing through chapter 12 the authors focus on computer software (namely elements). Why waste 7 chapters on software that gets updated so frequently? If they had chosen photoshop and the basics I wouldn't be complaining, as the basics haven't changed in years. However, they go into some pretty detailed things that kids don't need to bother with, specially since they don't even have a fundamental understanding of the craft.
Another example of how poorly organized this is...by chapter 3 the authors already mention color temperature. Hello? Very few art students even know what that is at the high school level.
This is a very disappointing book, and the title and the cover are rather misleading.
