Artifact 4
Artifact 4-Reflection
As a result of my experience at NCCAT, the new web site generator I discovered and used for the NCCAT site, and the response from the clay monster lesson I taught when I returned, I decided to take the journey a step further. I contacted Seo Eo, Area Coordinator for the Ceramics program at East Carolina University regarding an independent study. In this course I am created clay lessons for K-2 classroom based on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. I posted the lessons on a site that I created specifically for the course, http://k2clay.synthasite.com/. I shared the information from my independent study in a presentation to pre-service teachers at ECU and also to the art teachers in Pitt County.
My goal was to share this site with other educators. I am created the site on my own, making sample clay projects to correspond with typed six-point lessons and publishing everything to share with my fellow art educators. The purpose of this independent study was to continue to push myself to collaborate, to work with technology and also to create lessons that I will use in my own K-2 classroom.
NOTE: SOME OF THE LESSONS MAY BE TEMPORARILY UN-LINKED. THIS PROBLEM HAS RECENTLY BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION MY INTERN, CAITLYN (THANKS!) AND I AM WORKING ON THE PROBLEM.
