This is a very new experience for me. I am not the type of person who uses a blog, and I never imagined that I would ever have one. But I am willing and open to figuring it out.
I am happy that we had a lot of snow, it was exciting, but I am not looking forward to digging out my car tonight. I went sledding with my roommates, which was a lot of fun since I have not done it in years. Good times! =P
The "Learning Connections" reading was interesting, and I already learned many advantages to incorporating technology into lesson plans. Since I am interested in art, the part that really pulled me in, was Animation Brings Lessons to Life. It is true, hands on experiences and visuals makes learning not only more fun, but also more effective. The example in the reading, of showing children works of art, and then having children break down the images into individual basic shapes. This helps students begin to create images of their own.
So glad it is Thursday, no classes tomorrow!
