Art Teaching in need of Technology update!
Hello, my name is Shileah and I am an art teacher in Kittitas, WA. I have been teaching for 3 years now and I love it. I am currently working on getting my Masters in Integrating Technology into the classroom so that I may further help my students. I love art but prefer photography and love to teach it to my students. With photography being all digital there is a lot of technology that I still need to know. I hope this master program will help.

Suggestions for blog use in classrooms:
ReplyDeleteI would love to use a blog in all of my classrooms. I think it would be a great space for students to share their ideas without feeling the pressure of the class looking at them.
One way I would use a blog is as an entry task. If everyone had a computer I would have every student respond to a question or comments daily on there.
A second way that I would use a blog would be for students to display their artwork. I teach a photography class and I would love for student to be able to post their photos and have students comment on them.
A problem that I see with these is that not all students have access to a computer. I could take them to the computer lab but that is not always available. I think I could also make it optional but then the involvement would drop. These are great ideas but with the reality of lack of funding puts a stop to a lot of these ideas.
