=**//Welcome to my teacher Wiki Site!!! //**=

This wiki site is here to help keep my masters program going strong and to maintain any ideas or projects that I may be doing for the classes in the program. I intend on using the site also as an outlet for other teachers to be able to share ideas, comments, concerns or just anything that has to do with the classroom. Hopefully I will be able to not only help myself, but help others along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!

**Assignment #2: Technology Lessons** http://www.lessonplanspage.com/CILearnPowerPoint912.htm I do have many students who do not know how to use the basics of powerpoint. I found this website about how to create a simple powerpoint and it also includes source websites as well. Very simple, very clean and very easy for students.

http://www.professorgarfield.org/pgf_ArtBot.html This is a terrific interactive site for learning how to draw cartoons. It is a video lesson on drawing. This can be used for students to watch and work step by step with the artist. Since I teach a lesson on drawing cartoons and caricatures, I will use this site.

http://www.teachnet-lab.org/IS24/llangsner/claudemonet.htm Impressionism is one of the most difficult styles of art to describe and understand. This project discussing Claude Monet, not only deals with looking at his art, but also discussing his art. One of the most important aspects of art is not only the doing of it, but also the describing of it. Inside this lesson, there is a link to an online interactive slideshow with Monet's work which works with the project. Good way to incorporate excellent visuals with the project.

=My Blog! = Its just a start, but I plan on using the blog to update my students and keep them in track with what is going on with the Intro to Digital Graphics class that we are in. //Should be a good time!//

=**My Fun Educational Sites** =

[|//www.mrpicassohead.com//]//:// Its a play off of Mr. Potato Head except they sub in art by Pablo Picasso. Students can REALLY get into this site. [|//www.jacksonpollock.org//]//:// Great Flash based site where you can create your own Jackson Pollock style painting. By clicking the mouse, you change colors. If you move the mouse slow, the lines are thick. Move your mouse fast, lines are thin. Very cool site. [|//www.linerider.com//]//:// I dont recommend using this in the class, but it is good for strategy solving and expanding your mind. Flash based, it is fun, but you can waste a lot of time here.
