No need to shoot raw+jpeg, it’ll fill up the students’ storage quick. I second the idea of using the phone's stock camera app. I think almost all Android and iPhone models have a "pro" camera mode these days. Use that. Will give you access to most of the standard "prosumer-level" camera settings (White Balance, ISO, Shutter Speed, and Manual/Auto Focus. If the student doesn't have a "pro" mode (called Pro on Samsung, not sure about on Apple products) then have them download a free camera app from their store. Just make sure whatever they're shooting with has the standard manual controls listed above. Shooting in JPG only is a decent idea if you're not going to go into any serious post editing discussions. If you are going to do post edits, I would recommend maybe touching on the idea of RAW photos. You can edit JPGs pretty well these days, but obviously RAW will give you a LOT more leeway. Just not sure how much it may matter in a beginner HS-level course unless you are going to spend time on edits. If you do want to do RAW+JPG, maybe set up a workflow to have the students store their files on a jump drive and then delete from their phones so that they aren't hosing their space. I agree with bobmarleysghost that I would focus on composition and storytelling more than heavy edits. But in a beginner class, you may find a lot of students just struggling with using manual controls. I find in some of my college classes for Fine Arts that even second year students don't fully grasp manual controls like shutter/aperture/ISO and how they balance together. Maybe start the semester with just shooting Auto and working on composition from the get-go. Then move onto manual controls slowly. Show YouTube videos of tutorials about shutter/aperture/ISO (even though cell phones won't give you access to aperture controls). That just mean you have to teach shutter and ISO (and focus). Leave White Balance in auto and don't worry about it too much. All digital editing software can fix White Balance in a click. There are cool websites that will allow you to control the camera settings on a page with a sample photo to see how the different controls affect the exposure/depth of field/noise. Let them play around with that hands on. Ideally getting your hands on some cheap DSLRs and kit lenses would be the way to go, but again I caution that first time photography students really have a slow-go of picking up the manual controls and SLR components, so it may be hard to do that in one semester. The intro photography class at my community college starts everyone off with cellphone photography (and the college mirror's the photography syllabus of the University of Kansas). Teach photography history! Show famous photos every day! Flood them with photos, that's the best way to start planting the idea of composition and story.
