• Radio production or podcasting is a great reason to write well and is powerful context for developing oral language skills. 
• music is such an important part of childhood and integral part of what it means to be human, but until recently its creation was reserved for the very few.

14-4 My Brusher Bot

This is my Brusher bot, Unfortunately it stopped working because the wires became detached. When it did work it was going really fast. It was interesting to watch. 

14-3 My original lesson objective

My original lesson objective was
 "   From what I know in New Media in art education, are the various Adobe softwares. I would love to learn how to use the 3-D printers, and I am really excited to learn about the Makey-Makey software, because I read a short article about it last semester, and you presented it in class."

It seems for my lesson objective, all of my wants were fulfilled. I di get to make a 3D print as well as using the various Adobe softwares that I already knew how to use. I however did not get a chance to use Makey-Makey but that is okay, because I learned new things that I did not even know existed such as the laser cutter, circuitry, and scratch. I love that I go to use  stop motion animation, iMovie and garage band,because I never knew how to use them. I also love that I learned how to upload music onto Soundcloud, as well as to upload videos into Youtube.

I think the materials that we used that could best be used for the classroom, would be scanners for a scenography project, as well as stop motion because enjoy telling stories. I also thing that garage band is great for kids to collaborate together and make great music. I also enjoy circuitry for kids to use, but I would need that student that made the circuit book for them to be innovative. Making movies in iMovie as a group would be good for the classroom, and peer relationships. This will allow kids to explore the software together and then make a movie on their own. Kids can benefit from producing great student centered artworks from Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I think that there are many softwares and equipment that students could use in the classroom, that will allow them to express their artistic repertoires.
