Supporting Instruction with Technology


Link: MY COGGLE
Women's History Quilt.

       I chose this particular lesson plan because it incorporates both art and technology. This lesson plan covers many of the bases for teaching art and reaching curriculum goals. I like that it ties history into the lesson. The students get to learn about an influential woman in history as well as illustrate a square for a quilt. 

     This lesson supports many of the standards for visual arts. It promotes creating (organizing ideas, developing work), presenting (conveying meaning through presentation/artistic work),  responding (interpret meaning in work, evaluate work), and connecting (historical context to deepen understanding). It allows for collaboration with peers, as well as individual expression. I feel like this lesson holds the curriculum goals, teaching strategies, and technologies in alignment. 

     This assignment allows the students to research, connect ideas, work together, comprehend ideas, learn through the work of their peers, and share ideas and opinions. The teacher also gets to benefit from learning through the work of the students. The computer allows the students to deepen their knowledge as well as illustrate their quilt square. I would use Coggle in my classroom to map out activities that we will do, making it easier for the students to understand the process we will be going through; what step comes next.
