1. Art and Music Literacy?

2. Ethics, Honor before Excellence?

New Kid on the block

Eamonn Hobbins, Tom Nazereno and I teamed up for the Podcast assignment.  We quickly agreed, brainstormed, story boarded and filmed our video last Saturday.

Our goal was to make an introductory video for new students starting highschool at ISM.
We chose to have the point of view of a new student arriving at ISM and finding theirr way around school.
Our audience is primarily Steve and our classmates, with the bigger picture- for actual new students
The challenge involved using imovie 🙂
We created this video to help new students get acquainted with ISM even before physically being here.  Knowing where to go on the very first day, what to expect and how dorky some of the teachers may lessen the anxiety and stress that comes with coming to a new school.

Learnings:

1. split screens also called ‘side by sides’ we found a great youtube made by a boy explaining it so well

2. Eamonn loves imovie, most credits should honestly go to him for editing it and reshooting other parts himself!

3. Tom is perfect for the music parts, because he can catch the nuances to get just the right timing.

4. imovie is quite ‘easy’ to use… 🙂

Life on the Screen: Visual Literacy in Education

“One of my concerns is that we’re advancing intellectually very fast, but we’re not advancing emotionally as quickly.”

I loved Jen Juteau’s post on Which app for documentation?

How do we teach our students visual language and emotional intelligence?

Again, I’m so lucky to teach ART!!!  where it is natural in our subject.   Questions in Intro grade 9 art: To what effect does that thicker line give the overall composition?  What do you want to express in this piece?  What would you like your audience to wonder about when they see you work?…
