Technology Integration
My philosophy on integrating technology into art curriculum:
Technology is an important tool in my teaching, allowing me to create engaging, accessible, and independent learning experiences for students both inside and outside the classroom. I use technology to create videos, presentations, and printable resources that support a variety of learning styles and give students the opportunity to review skills at their own pace. By creating visual and interactive resources, I can extend learning beyond class time and provide students with tools they can return to whenever they need additional guidance or inspiration.
As an art educator, I view technology as a way to enhance creative learning rather than replace traditional art making. My goal is to thoughtfully integrate digital tools alongside hands on experiences, helping students build confidence with both modern technologies and traditional artistic processes. Whether students are learning how to sew through an instructional video, documenting their creative process in an online portfolio, or presenting their work through a self-made slideshow, I strive to use technology intentionally to support creativity, accessibility, and meaningful learning.
How I Use Educational Media
Examples of digital resources I've made for students:
Sewing 101 Video
This video is a simple step-by-step guide on how to set up and learn simple sewn stitching techniques. It allows for students to pause, rewatch, and review at their own pace in order to comprehend such technical material. Alongside the printed worksheets it allows for independent learning.
