Reflections on Module 9 August 3

Sometimes art education doesn't lend itself to collaboration as we try to develop original talents, however there are many facets of the arts that technology can be adapted to: critical thinking, communication, creativity AND collaboration.    As I design and rework old lessons I will apply the SAMR model to my plans  striving for the top levels.  I will allows students to have more voice and choice in the way they demonstrate mastery.  I see technology playing a bigger role in my classes as our corporation moves to a 1 - 1 classrooms over the next year of so.  I also see myself as more of a role model and mentor for other staff members to follow.  I will use what I have learned to to help our staff transition to the digital classroom.  We live in a different world than we grew up in, students in our classes are different,  the required skills students will need to succeed in the 21st century are different, therefore teachers are going to need to learn a different way to teach in this radically different world.
