The second place I went to look was Pinterest. Once you go to Pinterest you can search for arts integration or arts education; up pops a plethora of different ideas, lessons, and videos. You can take a quick peek at just a search for Arts Integration by clicking here. I was amazed at what I could find by using Pinterest. Since it is not an actual arts integration website there are a few pins that would be classified as arts enhancement, but as participants of this grant I feel we could weed those out.
There are many videos on YouTube, but one of the people that sticks out the most in my mind are videos by Mary Palmer. If you watch the video below you can see why I like her videos.
You can check more of her videos by going to her YouTube Channel. They are all geared towards elementary school, sorry secondary teachers. She also has a website where she has information about herself, information about her program Through the Arts,
The first place I went to was Pinterest as well! It is one of my favorite websites of all time!! I was actually surprised with how much art integration resources there was on the website. I was please with what I found. Also when I was searching the web, I also came across the same youtube videos. I really enjoyed watching them, especially because she gives great examples! It's always great to see something in action. It is refreshing to watch other teachers teach art integrated lessons in the classroom! It's a great resources to make anyones teaching improved.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love pinterest. I go there for many of my teaching ideas. What I like about it is that it is a site of photos and websites. I will sometimes just get inspiration or an idea from a simple picture that I see. I am a visual learner and seeing some of the pictures will help get my brain going. I also like that many of the sites are not junk advertisements or false sites. It is essentially an ongoing blog from countless people.
ReplyDeleteYou tube does have some great videos when it comes to gathering ideas on how to present a lesson!! Good Job!!
