Inspiration

Inspiration is definitely something I can use and benefit from in the classroom. I think Inspiration is a great resource for any teacher or student to invest in. There are many ways in which Inspiration can used in a classroom. Here are 10 ways in which Inspiration can used in an art classroom:

1. A concept map is great way for students to study for a quiz
2. Help students learn the steps for that day's art project.
3. Showing how two colors mixed create a 3rd color using venn diagram
4. A flow chart that shows how discipline will be handled
5. For comparing to different cultures for a cultural project
6. Help teacher organize the art lesson for the day
7. Chart to show what materials each table will be responsible for during cleanup
8. Helping students to learn and define the vocab
9. Help to show what certain materials will be used for in that lesson
10. Showing deadlines for certain projects for the class to see

Out of the many web resources we used in class I have a few favorite. I really liked wordle.net, polleverywhere.com, 4teachers.org, and the discoveryeducation.com. The ones i would use the most in my classroom would be 4teachers.org and discoveryeducation.com.  I would use 4teachers.com for many reasons, particularly using rubistar to make rubrics for my students and their projects. I would also use it for the students to have computer lab time where they can play the online games to recognize their material. I really love discoveryeducation.com because it has so many amazing educational documentaries that i can show the students as an intro to a lesson. If there is a snow day and there is a bit of time left in class then this is perfect for the students to watch a brief video. Students can also jot down ideas for their next lessons from the videos.
