Interactivity #3

For interactivity number three, we all had great technologies that are useful to art and that have a big impact in art classrooms as well as out in the art world. The final end project has a multiple of different technologies that have a huge importance in art, we all individually added great ideas and resources. The technologies that I came up with were hard to think of because most common and most popular technologies were mentioned beforehand. The technologies that I added are still being used in the art world however some of the technologies are not used in all art classes, but are used in some graphic design classes. The entire technology inventory serves a very useful purpose in CURR 314 and READ 411 because it shows the mass of technologies and resources that we as teachers can use in our classroom. Having this list is so helpful for teachers who do not have the resources to multiple technologies and this list shows alternate resources that they can use in their classrooms. Thinking outside of the box is what makes a good teacher and being able to use a variety of different technologies is very helpful.

Interactivity #2

Even though technology is still limited today in art classes, the slide projector in art history classes makes it easy to teach and learn about art in history.

Interactivity #1

The technology has had a huge impact in the way we learn new imformation today. The technologies that I choose that has had the msot influentual impact on my life are my computer, cell phone and my ipod. These three technologies are probably considered the most popular in today society. Almost every child today has at least two or all three of the technology resources. Technology is so convient and useful and is a part of our everyday lives. Technology has become so important in our society today that people can't live without it. We use it to stay in contact with people and to email co-workers and to find out new information for learning in school. Technology has become so involved in education today that no one can learn without it and it is very resourceful to help students learn. What I like about technology is that it teaches people to think in a different way. It teaches people new things and how to view things differently.
The way I use my technology today is similar in some ways to the way the young people use them from the two videos. They use these technologies to keep in contact with the world and to find out new information. Technology today is paving the way of communication for the future. One child in the video said "the cool thing about technology is that you can always change things", I like how they said that because its true, our society today has changed so much since technology has become so involved in our lives and it continues to grow each day. The differences from how I use my technology compared to the videos is that I use mine today mostly for school. Most of the children, not all, use technology to play games or go on facebook. I'm not saying that I don't use technology to keep in contact with people but I use it more for looking up information and learning new things.
