Data sources I have not considered in the past for my project:
Observation of the use of a IPad in a general education classroom.
Professional artist who use an IPad for producing artwork.
Applications to use in the classroom setting in the IPas App
store.
IPad Workshops to attend and learn from to being ideas to
the classroom.
It is part of my school culture to visit other teacher's classrooms. We are asked to do this so that we have an understanding of what and how other teachers teach are students. I always walk away from these observations and think that the whole experience is just busy work for us to do and report back to our administration. I will approach this experience differently now that I read this chapter.
I also tease my students that sometimes I wish there was a hidden camera in my room to capture all the "craziness" in the art room. Sometimes, when I retell a story of what happened that day people do not believe me. I want to have a visual example of those crazy moments. This past year was a great year and when I expressed that I wanted that camera, the students told me that they wanted one too! They thought it would be great to compile all those moment in the art room into a video and then share it with the school. They told me the name would be "What happens in the art room is no longer a secret!" How interesting would it be to share visually with general education teachers the "organized chaos" of art instructors? There is that saying of "I am an Art Teacher. You cant scare me!" Isn't that the truth?
