Technology in the Art Room
Experiences in Miss Henshaw's Classroom
Integrating Technologies in the Classroom
In the art classroom, I integrate technology through various vehicles:
- Ipad/tablet devices as a sketchbook journal
- Classroom website to keep students updated
- Recap (APP) to create demo clips for students who need a refresher of project techniques
Challenges of Integrating Technologies in Instruction
- Network connection issues
- Technical Support
- Students are distracted by outside games
- Lack of battery life of tablet
- Art Room can have spills which can ruin devices
Goals for Technology in the Art Room
- Become more comfortable integrating technologies
- Include ways for students to use technology as a medium for their creativity
- Use user friendly apps to aid student creations
- Continue to learn about new technologies to use in the art classroom
