Final Conclusion

In what ways can I continue to expand my knowledge of learning, teaching, and leading with technology with the aim of increasing student achievement?

I pledge to attend any technologically education related opportunities that the county has to offer. I also would like to learn photo shop and other creative programs to increase creative ideas using digitize ways. Although my students will not have these programs available, I know that the high school offers more, and the more I can tell them and share with them, they will have a heads up view on the opportunities. Expanding my knowledge right now will involve continual communication with other art teachers who use technology in the classroom. I enjoy blogging with teachers on the Art Education 2.0 blog and can learn from them ideas for lessons. Ways to use digital art are contagious. I brought a video camera in my room and the students are all enjoying practicing and filming with it. Several students brought in their own cameras without being asked! Student achievment also takes place at home. If I can generate ideas, excitment and practice, the students will take that home with them as well as return with practices they can share from home in the class.
