The NETS Standard this week states that teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. I'm choosing to discuss indicator A: Teachers demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations.
I think a great way to transfer current knowledge through technologies is with a Wiki. This is what I am doing for my project. I am creating a kind of traveling through art and time Wikispace. This allows me to post information that I already know in place that is open for students (or anyone) to use as a resource. I plan on using different and credible art history books and websites to help me present my information in a correct manner. The MET's website is great and I've found that PBS has a great contemporary art website. This Wikispace is a work in progress, so I will keep you posted.

NETS-T2 continued!
So I'm continuing on with my post from last week about NETS-T2, but I'm going to look at indicator "c" this week. It states that teachers should customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
Last week I talked about creating movies and podcasts, which could also fit under this indicator, but Jim suggested I look at the MOMA's educational website. They have three resources right there on their main page; one for elementary students, one for teens and high school students, and one for art educators. The page for elementary students has an interactive feature where kids can follow an alien around the MOMA to learn about certain artists and their works. There are also activities for them to do. The page for teens also has interactive activities and questions what is and isn't art? It also gives high school art students a chance to enter into different contests or workshops offered there at the MOMA. Both of these activity pages would be a great resource in the classroom for those students who are quick at finishing their artwork. If you don't want them to start on something new, these websites would be great for them to go and play around with, while still learning and being creative with art and art history.
