I teach art at a Title 1 school and art history has always been a passion of mine. I strive to make my students just as passionate about it as I am. I have been doing art history talks to bring awareness of different artists and art movements and how they impact our own projects. I have been using my free trial of Nearpod to enhance the talks and I have never seen my students more engaged and curious and filled with wonder. They can access virtual field trips, make drawings of their own, write essays about what they have learned and post questions they have. This program has brought artists to life. It has sparked curiosity, rich discussion, and a desire to experience the world in a way I have never seen before. I wish to continue to use this program in my classroom to further their education and expand their worlds. Many do not get to travel beyond our state, and this program gives them access to spaces they might never see otherwise. It also makes them aware of places they didn't know existed. Teaching about Impressionism was much more enriching when they could take a tour of the Louvre or Monet's gardens. Giving them access to spaces they might not have access to otherwise makes the information stick with them. I have seen it motivate them, and if they are motivated they can do anything and go anywhere. I believe that art is a powerful force that can change lives. Using Nearpod has sparked that change and it is my hope that what they see on their screens in my classroom will one day bring them there in person.
