Teaching+with+Techology-+Week+Five

Week Five “Art students can prepare art projects using a certain artist’s style and then, through videoconferencing, have that artist critique their work in real time. The artist can see all the subtle details because of the high quality Web 2.0.” This is my first year as an Art teacher (I taught social studies and P.E. in the past) and I must admit I have struggled a bit with incorporating technology into my classroom this year. It’s most likely because I am just tying to get comfortable with teaching a new subject. I love this idea of using videoconferencing with the artist. It allows for high quality collaborating of their work. I really feel that I need to start thinking outside of the box with incorporating technology with art. Yes, I use the Promethean board, digital cameras and Ipads, but need to use more. This example is a start. Solomon, G., & Schrum, L. (2007). //Web 2.0 new tools, new schools//.
