Summary: The
article discusses how to teach skills of creativity and innovation through
technology. Many kids love
creating projects on the computers because of the ease to undo or replicate
something, and the freedom that is limited by paper supply. On computers, it’s easy for students to
edit projects. A Digital Design
class taught art and technology with a foundation of mathematics, science, and
engineering. The examples given in
the article explained different graphics that were created using geometric
patterns and 3D coordinates. The
students who were first enrolled in the class loved it and were enthusiastic
about class each day. Learning
about technology was exciting for the students, and relevant to the information
that needed to be covered. The
foundation is there for students learn the basics of technology and be inspired
to learn more.
Question 1: How
will I use this educational tool?
The article gave a few examples of how lessons blended art
and technology. I could create
different assignments and projects that combine subject material with a visual
aid that is made on the computer.
Question 2: How
would the Digital Design class be beneficial to students?
It’s important that students learn the basics and get
excited about technology because it plays such a huge role in our current
society. When they have a basic understanding
of technological devices and programs at younger ages, it is easier for them to
gain more knowledge and capabilities.
