a) Wiki for my visual arts Learning Project using Web 2.0 technologies.http://highschoolvisualarts.pbwiki.com
b) 1. It is difficult to integrate all of the web2.0 technologies into one short assignment task. For example in the task point 4, I stated ‘post your image on Flickr’, this was not really needed for their project. It was included because I needed to use more Web 2.0 programs. Flickr is a good program that students can teach their parents to use.
2. Photoshop is not a web2.0 application. In order to fit it into the Board of studies syllabus I hade to use a program such as Photoshop. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_sc/pdf_doc/visual_arts_710_syl.pdf. I also found this was essential element in my task as it catered for multiple intelligences.
I also found it was a program that was challenging and engaging for students. It operated in higher order thinking of Blooms Taxonomy. This is because students are not only understanding a meaning behind an artwork, but they are creating something themselves.
3. It is challenging to create an assignment that parent or caregivers are meant to be so heavily involved in. If this assignment was put into practice, I would be surprised if all parent contributed. Some may simply not be bothered however many parents or caregivers are busy with other commitments such as work. All the students that parents were not involved may then feel isolated. Although in saying that, I do think it would benefit both parent and student to learn off each other. www.facebook..com
