Many of my students enjoy working in collaborative learning groups. The groups are often "limited" to hard copies and materials that are prepared before class and provided during the learning activities. I would like to add a Chromebook as a resource for each group of 5 students. The addition of technology to the learning groups will make many resources available for research during group projects. The groups will be able to choose an artist, an art movement, or art medium that they are curious about and will then conduct research in class together as a group. The learning groups will be able to prepare multi-media presentations that they can then share with the whole class. The presentations will include PowerPoint slide shows enriched with many visual images, text, and group/individual artworks. There will be limitless "art images" available for students to choose from as we engage in "close reading" and the "art criticism process". My goal is to increase my students' visual literacy skills by providing more opportunities for "choice" in selecting subject matter that is meaningful to them and motivates them to be invested in their learning and group contributions. Please help me provide the students with an opportunity to be 21st century learners in the art room. The art room is a great place for students to be lead by their curiosity and technology can help my students turn curiosity into creative discoveries. Their creative process will be stirred and supported by the visual/informational resources made available through the addition of Chromebooks.
