Homework 3

1) Go to http://eetiquette.com and pick three select quotes to re-post on your blog. 2) Write a blog entry about the piece of technology which you brought into class and share your reflections/notes from the class. Create a lesson plan for a group of students of your choice. Try to focus this lesson plan on how you could use this tool creatively in an art class. Think from an artistic point of view, not from a technological one. If this seems difficult, describe the difficulties. 3) Strictly Classroom: Following our discussion about the place of new media in an art class, contribute to our wikispace; choose from the 3 pages those which reflect your viewpoint most accurately and add your statements and thoughts. Link: http://newmedianewforms2012fall.pbworks.com/. As these statements develop and evolve, don't be afraid to make edits, to summarize similar arguments etc. 4) Keep your blog as a place where you reflect on your classroom experiences and your work in between. Think about what direction you would like to take our explorations; or go deeper into where we are headed. 5) Here are 3 articles from the times I meant to share with you. Enjoy reading them, they fit so nicely into what we are doing. Article 1: Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction. The constant stream of stimuli offered by new technology poses a profound new challenge to focusing and learning. http://nyti.ms/dbybm3. Article 2: OP-ED COLUMNIST: Silence Is Golden. In an age of computer-generated images, green screens and 3-D glasses, sometimes silence speaks loudest. http://nyti.ms/rTJSNy. Article 3: OPINION: The Joy of Quiet. Trying to escape the constant stream of too much information. http://nyti.ms/u7fIA5.
