Issues and problems with art
Instruction
Funding for technology integration is hard to
come by let alone technology for the arts. “Teachers and administrators must
increasingly find ways to stretch funds available for arts education.” (Roblyer
and Doering 2013, page 365) Simple things such as ink and paper consume a large
part of the budget. With the ease of access to such a large number of images
through the Internet, teachers must protect their students from inappropriate
images. However, “ many great works of
art would likely to be filtered out unless the filter is carefully
constructed.” (Roblyer and Doering 2013, page 365) Some great artists or arts
use nude images in their painting. With these limitations, students may not
have access to a large number of famous paintings and teachers will be forced
to depend on books in the library or CD’s or DVD’s from museums. As a teacher,
I would rather my students have the ability to use the technology that we have
in the classroom rather then limit them to a few books and CDs. The
Advantages of technology Integration
Technology Integration Strategies for
Art Instruction
The advantages of having technology in the classroom are vast. The
hardware that is available to teachers can enhance what they are teaching. If I wanted to teach the class about an
artiest using technology in the classroom, I can go to the Internet pull up the
artiest and their information along with images of their work. I would then could create a PowerPoint
presentation on my IPad and display it on the interactive board. Flowing that presentation the students will
be asked to add their research information to my wiki space to further the
discussion on the artwork. With technology integration, my students will be
prepared for the future. Art students will have access to so many software
tools that can be used create works of art or contribute to a piece that they
scanned and view digitally. Schools sometimes have their art students create
marketing pieces. “Because students gain
valuable experience through creating and producing these publications, the
activities can be considered a kind of internship to prepare for actual jobs as
graphic artists for newspapers or other companies.” (Roblyer and Doering 2013,
page 368) The most basic thing like hearing can be improved with technology integration. “ Research suggests that sound amplification technology may benefit all students, not just those with diagnosed hearing impairments, by focusing attention.” (Roblyer and Doering 2013, page 409)
Tech-Pack
NEEDs and Challenges In Art
There are many challenges that art teachers face but ”when teachers
using the Tech-Pack perspective think about the existing technologies that can
communicate the fundamental concepts and how his or her students can learn the
concepts in a way that would not be possible without technology.” (Roblyer and
Doering 2013, page 370) The students and teachers will be “aware of the
ever-changing digital media production landscape.” (Roblyer and Doering 2013,
page 371) With technology teachers and
students will be able to meet the National Standards of Arts Education.

Maureen I really enjoyed your videos on the top ten reasons to use technology in the classroom. I think technology plays a huge role in keeping students engaged and also relating the material to their lives (Roblyer and Doering, 2013, p. 319).
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the "Technology in the Art Room" video. You did a great job in finding the restraints and benefits of integrating technology and art. I like that the video talks about not being able to reach kinesthetic learners with this tool. While on the other hand, it shows how the use of technology can still "help students learn color theory, design theory, and photography techniques" (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 367).
ReplyDeleteI think you can't go without having technology inside the classroom. With art, you can express yourself in many ways. With pictures, you can create more with being able to use photoshop inside the classroom. "Art educators can choose from among a number of software opitions to let students explore graphics." (Doering & Robyler 2013)
ReplyDeleteThe interest in new media is growing and changing the field of art. I think it is important to keep up with these changes and to help students have access to learning new ways to create. “The use of technology within art and music education has the potential to transform the learners’ experiences” (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 371). Some of the funding issues could possibly be remedied by a BYOD policy.
ReplyDeleteThis statement is very well put " I would rather my students have the ability to use the technology that we have in the classroom rather then limit them to a few books and CDs." I totally agree and I know its such a major issue when it comes to funding, particular subjects, and income demographics. Student must embrace technology and most students are already completely incorporated into a digital world even in lower income areas. If students are deprived of technology then they will fail to see how integrated topics are used in the "real world" (Robyler & Doering, 2013, p.171.
