Digital Art!

One of the most exciting things to happen in my classroom in the past ten years is the availability of computers and technology. We started as a "one computer" classroom. Through some "wheeling and dealing", grantwriting, and awards, I am just now adding my fourth computer. I am very mechanically inclined and I have been using computers since 1980. This has helped me to feel confident that the computers are not "precious". If they break, I can usually fix the problems. I have spent DAYS troubleshooting. Yes, this adds time to my teaching schedule, but it is worth it!! My students create computer portfolios that include art work that covers all subject areas. I have used many software applications including Hyperstudio, Appleworks, KidPix, Art Dabbler, Adobe Photoshop, MP Express, and many others. I have also taught them how to use a scanner and digital camera. All this work is not just for my secondary students. I start them on the computer in kindergarten!
