I wanted to show this article to my fellow future art teachers. These are suggestions on how to integrate technology into your elementary classroom. Sometimes it is hard to easily implement technology into a lesson, but in this article they give specific examples of how to use several technologies. From typing up artist statements to visiting art galleries online, they are really great tips. Also the last one on the list, "Creating artwork about technology", may seem obvious but it is very true! Most students' are so used to using technology everyday and it is a huge part of their lives, so why not pull some inspiration from it? Hope you guys take a look at this and find some strategies for the future!

ReplyDeleteShannon I just wanted to share this link with you to my artist's portfolio I made on iMovie for my Digital Technologies in the p-12 Art Classroom course. Like in the article you posted, students can benefit from creating online portfolios of their artwork. I would imagine this would be great for elementary students as well. You could post their portfolios on the classroom webpage for the parents to view.
I also found the same article while researching for this class. I found this article very helpful. The ideas that they give you are not only helpful for elementary school but I believe they could be used in high school as well. Emily your art work is beautiful! this could be very helpful for students to show their work.
