Video Reflections 11

Copyright is a subject that I have thought about but always find it hard to care about. I never intend to make a profit off of someone's work. As an art teacher I will have to make sure that my students stay original. But then again in postmodernism, art is all about using readymades in a different context than they were originally intended. I will cover my basis by using materials in an educational setting, and never selling any copyrighted materials.

It is great that the students get a chance to teach. i think that this is very important for the students to understand how much it takes for their teachers to teach them. The students also get to enjoy sharing their knowledge with other children. This also benefits the other children, for they are able to learn with differentiated instruction.

Video Reflections 9

Correct! Teachers want the students to learn the meaning behind information. Meaning-based learning is the most important. I am a visual learner. I think that it is still important to teach in several different ways. It is important to teach students within context. Students will develop how they can learn best. I am still confused on the whole theory. Every child has a different way of learning and different interests. I believe that meaning is the most important (at least for art) to get across for the students. All in all, I'm confused!

Environmental Health Video. I like that the kids are to make persuasive videos on health education. Videos also allow for creative thinking. I enjoy watching the students be challenged creatively while learning. I am a big fan of the collaboration of subjects, health and language arts. I would like to collaborate art with every other subject in my lesson plans. The lesson connects to several different standards across curriculum and subjects.
