9.25.13 Class Notes

"eEtiquette" is written by diverse people

Need to remember that NOT every school can provide a computer for every student. 


Digital technology itself gets updated/upgraded, and so people (esp. teachers) need to keep on learning new things.



Software/Programs that are helpful:
-Zotero.org (helpful for writing footnotes, bibliography, reference, etc)
-Wikispace
-Piratepad.net

Tagging?!

-tagging people on pictures on Facebook
-Instagram
-iTunes U
-tagging is helpful to find images, music, and movies and to organize files, etc.
-examples of tagging: name, time, released, descriptions on Podcast as tags

Social Bookmarking:
-send links to each other

(+) of new media in art class
-children are drown to and grow with technology, and so they need to learn proper ways to use technology
-having an equal access in classroom

(+) of traditional practice in art class

-learn to explore and experiment (beyond just art making)
-learn how to be proud of their creativity and accomplishments (e.g. making a new color by mixing two or more colors) 
-individuality 
-share their ideas and/or collaborate during the process of making (cannot if students only work on computers (block conversations among students))
-students use new media anyways
-cost a lot less
-learn to be respectful of others (e.g. by clean-up)
-learn to share space
-develop time-management skills
