final post

What do I think of blogging?
I think it is a great way to get your ideas out to a larger community who share similar interests or an outlet to just vent your thoughts.

I find this a very useful communication tool for students to interact with their classmates. Blogs as a source for reflection can be useful in helping students retain information.

I would use a blog in a middle or high school setting for a reflection on projects they are working on.

1) I commented on Alex's blog on self-portraits.

I commented on Pam's blog on self-portraits.

2) I chose to comment on Pam's blog because she is right above me in the list. I commented on the other blog because out of randomness and a little because of the personality of the blogger shown in class.

I will use this website to help me format and write my teaching philosophy.

I posted a comment on smART Blogging:http://bartkm33.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-do-you-want-to-be-art-educator.html?showComment=1271360122053_AIe9_BEWv3rWiOd5QmeEu-Ab2DOfzZAl6vtwLLgtITgpQ7p0mDsUAXpRbZYc7UdbNWEOmXYKTWdH1oScZlAMAocOVBbrYFWomTETC3UzA20vIykk6EbfzMaynsSFVe1Zh8omHWOrqGqDqRAYRH36OFoodd0jAhbs83wWpmCfrUeR4PspzWwAJHtA6XlfzW7953lVYuAcgXZE0zRjCYJ3PBHn2fOmnETyhY7sDfd6OqJcQaCVgBSVh2XrVQiqhngJhzKAspblEH-k#c7878431205183457825

I tried posting on other blogs, but for some reason the site would not let me even get to view other blogs. I was trying to do so from the reading list, under Add, and typing in the web address from the AED log spring doc (minus the http://). I do not know why it was not letting anything go through besides Kirsten's blog as I was doing the same thing on each blog.

I at chose to comment on Kirsten's blog out of pure randomness. However, I chose to comment on her post about why she wants to be an art teacher because it seemed like one of the posts with the most substance, without having to watch a tutorial/video.

I could use a blog as a communication tool in a classroom as a method for students to comment on projects that they are working on with the class as a whole for more insight on what they could do with their project if they need an extra boost.

In this section I would use the Digital storytelling section, which opens as a pdf document to help me better teach my students how to digitally convey their thoughts and teach the different methods to do so.

2)http://www.apple.com/education/teachers-professors/digital-content-creation.html
In this section I would use the ilife section in my classroom to teach students to use the various mac programs on their computer such as Imovie to allow them to make presentations for classes.

3)http://www.edutopia.org/integrated-studies
I would use the real world examples to find inspiration to integrate other subjects into my classroom, especially the example of integrating art, science, and current events from the ASCEND School in East Oakland, Oklahoma. http://www.edutopia.org/little-school-that-did
