Ed. Media A

Hello everybody! Here is my first post for my Ed. Media A class. I am very excited about learning even more ways to incorporate technology into my art classroom. Last semester, I learned so much about websites that enable me to post my students' work onto the internet. I think the most visited site I went to was Voicethread. This is a website where you can post images and then comment on the image via text or by recording a voice. This was a wonderful way for me to introduce my students to critiquing. I would post their artwork on the website, have them briefly describe their work, and then record their classmate's critique of the work. Surprisingly, all of the students were very kind to each other in their critiques and it turned out to be a positive (and effective) way to introduce technology into my classroom. I am looking forward to learning so much more this semester!
