NA Art and the Internet

What

  • We are going to view, search out, evaluate, categorize, and publish some web resources that illustrate some of the basic ways that the Internet can be used to support our curriculum.

Why

  • The Internet is a powerful tool for direct instruction, learning and evaluation, research, creative expression, and exhibition/publication.
  • The technology will become increasingly accessible for us and our students.
  • The technology has the potential to offer solutions to the challenges of how to meet increasing demands with limited resources.

How can the Internet support what we do?

Direct instruction In the art room, museums, galleries, artists and their work can be visited to stimulate aesthetic and critical dialog, give historic perspective and motivate production. This requires a connection and adequate display.

Independent learning and evaluation At workstations at school or increasingly at home students can be guided through interactive learning and integrated evaluation at their own pace. This is
fun, engaging and non threatening. Of particular note are the learning loops that allow acquiring of further information if students miss information.

Directed research and independent study The internet provides a rapidly expanding wealth of images and information for the study of art. Educators can guide and shape inquiry by pointing to sites, annotating critical commentary, and integrating web use with other learning activities.
