The use of wiki for Story Cube lesson plan is creative idea. The idea of art teachers (pre-service, in-service) and art educators cooperate for making into the planning of lessons is amazing. I believe that there is a big possibility for the use of wiki. However, I feel a little bit complicated to participate in the lesson plan. When I visited wiki lately, I feel difficult to change the lesson plan because I am not sure to remove or change another person's work.
In this process, I empowered the construction of avatar everything like sex, age, and race and then I used my avatars in Art Education field. So it was really interesting experience both creating my avatar like me and making a comic story.
When I played with my avatar in Second Life, I was momentarily under the illusion that I was in a foreign country. And I was a little being scared that another myself lives in another world. I just confused real and virtual world at that time. I think this thing makes a really big limitation in education. So I believed that educators must make younger children, who cannot control themselves easily to know about difference between real and virtual world first.
This game Deliver the net is a campaign game to give families in Africa free bed nets to prevent malaria. Malaria is preventable and treatable, yet it remains one of the world's deadliest diseases. Most of the victims are children and most of the deaths are in Africa. Africa suffers more than a million deaths from malaria each year. So this game effects in addressing issue and gives to gamer really important massage about malaria. But this game is too simple after 7years old students to game, they probably easily get boring when they do this. I believe that playing game's primary role is not only learn of issue about poverty and disease but also feel fun. When I play this game, I felt boring not fun. So I think boring is this game's big drawback.
The game Go Goat Go is addressing really important issue about poverty. You can play with goat and young boy in the overall wealth and health of a poverty stricken village. There are three series of levels in which the player learns the primary roles of goats and donation. I felt that it is well- made game when I played to see each level's different simulation and to hear attractive sound. Both sounds and simulations are important roles for making good games. So I believed that this game makes to students are not only learning issue about poverty but also feeling fun. In addition, I think that this game was used as a helpful educational instruction that would benefit for early childhood players.
We live in a digital culture which constructed by remix.
Since the development of internet, programs, and digital machine (digital camera, digital television, computer, IPod…), remix can be probably more technologically developed dramatically and rapidly in the future.
Especially, in classroom, young people are pleased to accept remix as a method which expresses their own ideas and meanings easily. But each student has different remix-manipulation techniques level.
So, teacher must provide to students how to use the tools.
This video is an example, how to Photoshop using in oneself.
You can find many how-to videos on photoshopping techniques in Youtube.com.
Create your own photo montages that mix elements from two or more images, like this web site.
You can get various image resources from here, and your students also.
I think this site is a playground for digital artists.
There are many galleries of digital works submitted by members.
Think about digital art and animation in the past, present and in the future.
This post card sender seems like a male to me.
first, the body line looks like a male, second, the breast is too flat to wear this big lingerie.
So confused.
What reading article proves is that it's difficult to judge people based on stereotypes. Think back, I also judged this postcard sender with stereotypes, body line and flat breast.
However, revisit here after reading, but I do not change my mind that sender looks like trying to imitate a woman.
But I learn through this study, I am certainly willing to judge other's by standards. What about you?
