Young Artists and Technology

All I can say is Wow! My eyes have been opened to the myriad of ways I can sustain instructional media in my art classroom. I have met and learned from some amazing people, each one with a creative and original perspective that inspires me.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I chose the topic of this presentation and the tool I would use to present. Technology in the Art Room for Young Children has become a passion of mine. In addition to my awesome classmates at Wilkes, I met two amazing art educators doing what they do in their own fabulous way. I now have a love/hate relationship with Powtoon. Free options struggles and time constraints issues could not hold me. I challenged myself and had fun. I bowed and I conquered. If timing is everything I am doomed. If everything happens at the right time, someone is smiling upon me. I am grateful for the feedback, insight, time, and patience everyone has given me.

To Your Creative Spirit,

Valerie

Young Artists and Technology in the Art Room- A Work in Progress

Here's the a link to my Powtoon. The Catch-22 was I couldn't download my slide show if I wanted to keep my videos within my presentation and I couldn't save my videos in a Powtoon movie so I could download it. Of course it is a work in process and I need all the advice and help I can get.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated. I do have to click to advance as it is a slide show but when I watch it, I am able to view everything in order including the videos. I am pleased with the flow and placement. I hope it is the same for the viewers. Wow! There is a learning curve for animation no matter how easy they say it is. It was so much fun. I hope I got the hang of it and it is not a glorious oops.


Young Children in the Art Room: Do They Need Technology

I was having difficulty accessing my curation tool today (They are doing work on the site. I am always lucky this happens when I visit.)  I still need to edit. I have lots of sources that are not included in my Powtoon presentation but on topic. The first page of my curated topic is pro hands on art and the 2nd page is pro technology in art class.

I included only a portion for my Powtoon as it was 9 minutes long. I love that it is technology but it has the look of kid's drawings. Brillant, Mr. Gallo.

Please and thank you for comments about the presentation. I hope to review everyone's who has posted theirs asap to give feedback. I am excited to view them.
