how to create animation with powerpoint video

I took a commercial photography class a few semesters ago and i remember how i was so uninformed on something so simple as saving images to a cd. I think that for a lesson it could be important to touch upon things like saving your work. There is so much you can talk about between hard drives and images sizes.

Podcast in the Art Classroom

This is an example that I did of a podcast in the art classroom.  It was a great way to show students what to do.  I believe that this was very helpful to the students.

Interactivity # 5

In my interview I spoke with a woman who teaches Spanish to high school students.  She has only been teaching for five short years. When I began my survey I quickly realized she had no clue what the NET-S/ NET-T were. Before even continuing with my questioning she asked me to explain to her what they were.  I think she was more confused than shocked she was not aware of what it was. She was not aware if her school district began implementing the NET-S and or NET-T.  We continued by talking about what technology initiatives exist to increase students’ proficiency and media literacy. She explained that all rooms had projector but only most but not all have a few computers. The teacher explained that there has been talk about Smart boards perhaps being bought for some classes. I was not surprised by her unfamiliarity with NET-S and NET-T because I too was not aware of about them until this very assignment. I would definitely tell fellow educators about the NETS-S and NETS-T. If my school board was not already involve with them I would bring it up during a meeting.

Interactivity #4

I choose this lesson plan because i thought it was a great opportunity to combine the history of books and technology. I thought a perfect way to incorporate technology into this lesson plan would be with in the finding and communication process. In order to complete this project you must first choose a concept, after doing this it is important for the students to take charge and find objects and materials to create a mixed Media work of art. For the objects to correlate with their concept they will need to hunt for specific subject matter. This is where the Internet gets involved, they are able to use the Internet and numerous websites to search and ask for what they are in search for. Another large portion of this lesson is in the technique of using tools to apply the mixed media components. They are able to use technology to research what it the best way for them to do this. A website i would suggest is http://www.thistothat.com/. The ability to use tools appropriately will result in a artwork that will be able to last through time rather than fall apart. While on ly having one book as their canvas they will need to plan and problem solve.

Who needs a babysitter when you have television?

In the reading, A Social History of Media and Technology in Schools, Grace talks about her grandmother and mother, and how media and technology has developed within schools over the past two centuries. After reading i began to think how her mothers and grandmothers were her care taker. It made me think of my own experiences with babysitting and how dramatically it has changed in just a few years. I remember being 15 when i first began babysitting. I would spend the night helping them with their homework, feeding, bathing, and playing with them. It was only ten years ago when they would be begging for one more board game or 2 more hours out side! Just the other day I babysat a boy I've known since he was four. When he was four he loved to draw, color, and use his imagination to pretend he was in space. Now he is almost eight and all he did that night was watch movies play video games and browse his ipad. All i thought that night was, "what is an eight year old doing with his own ipad?" After two hours of being there I was even bored! It made me wonder what i was even there for? My purpose for being there is of course for his care and safety. But i was no longer his source of entertainment or interaction. Technology is playing such a big role in education but it makes you think about its role in the house hold as well.
