A) the role of media in art today is more dominate then ever. Kids in this age are now comfortable if not more comfortable with technology than their teachers. With this knowledge they have more access to television adds, music videos, films, videos, computer generated images, these are all forms of art. With this being the reality art in the classroom is in a way becoming more mandatory because that is the way kids have adapted to learning. The examples that pertain most to my argument are fax friendships and copy technology outlined in chapter 10 in our book.
B) Examples of how one could use photography and video as an educational and communicational tool in the classroom are: a cd or dvd about particular artists, comparison slides of different art works, a live television lesson a video recording interview, and maybe an internet lesson.

A) After Luz Chung’s presentation on social justice and its connection to the classroom I feel that the most important point she made that hits home with me is Dialogue in the classroom. Growing up i was always able to have a voice and express myself in different ways. I think that as a teacher that is one of the hardest things to do, letting each child have their voice and learning how to express themselves in their own appropriate way. As a teacher I hope to achieve that and make my students as comfortable as my teachers made me.
B) I could use arts in the classroom to create a common ground with students from various backgrounds by using figures that each student would know and discussing all the controversies that go along with each public figure. Each student would then be able to have their voice and although we are all different have the same views on maybe one figure
Nice goals!
