PICASA

PICASA is a very basic photo editing, it's accessible, basic and free are very applicable to students, but for photo editing and restoration quality, I would prefer photoshop much better.

PHOTOS of Hawaii
My Journey of self discovery and future at BYUH can be closely related to the journey of the magnificent 'Iosepa'
Hawaii is a land of promise to those who seek its wisdom and sanctuary
It's a place of diverse cultures and melting pot
It's a place where the beauty of its nature brings you to unimaginable paradise
....and inspires creativity in each details you see

Technology in the Classroom
To start with, my Major is Bachelor in 2D Fine Art, and am taking teaching License for secondary school. If I gain my teaching license, I would most likely teach art at secondary school. There are many methods use in doing art, such as painting, water color, sculpture, ceramic, printmaking, photography, graphic designs, animations, etc.
Art is a hands on skill and a studio base classroom. I would most likely teach art in a traditional art studio classroom settings, but if necessary, I would use technology in my short lecture of introducing art methods, designs concepts , art histories/movements or visual examples, by using the traditional power point slides or a more advance web 2.0 online tools such as video sharing, podcasts,blogs etc, when presenting 'how to' for various art methods to my classroom. Besides that, when introducing graphic design (Adobe softwares such as Photoshop, Ilustrator etc) as an art methods to my class, I would most likely use a pc/Mac computers and its many supporting softwares for my classroom.
At BYUH, I've learn that technology are widely use as an alternative art methods such as animation, graphic design (photoshop, ilustrator etc as tools) etc. Through my beginning and intermediate design class, I was exposed to art theories such as golden section in art, the rule of third, art designs, art elements etc through various technology, my teacher uses videos and pictures to show these concepts.
The most intriguing one, is when we learned about the third rule concept that are use in the filming industry. Our teacher showed us clips from the pirates of the Caribbean movie with a 3x3 grid on it, and it shows that Captain Jack Sparrow are placed at the point of interest of the rule of third. Furthermore, in my Beginning photography class, I learned photo editing using photoshop and it is use vastly in today's modern digital photography. Our teacher even stated that it is the modern digital darkroom of digital photography.
Besides that, for my IDD (instructional design development) classes, we again use technology in introducing and instructing something, and in my assign work I chose "how to teach Hula". For the projects, we used, photoshops and ilustrator to do web site layout, posters, and brochures, we also use imovie, wikis, blogs and podcasts, to put together the videos of instructions, class group management, see others works and give comments to each other. Those classes are very much helpful and informative.
From taking EDU 305, I hope that I can learn more on how to use technology in my teaching career in art. Like my other technology base classes, I also hope that I can learn something new in technology and hopefully utilizes it in any circumstances in the future.

Blogging in Education
* What is Web 2.0 and why should teachers know about it?
Web 2.0 is web base or online tools that have interactive components such as video sharing (ex: youtube)and photo sharing (ex: Flickr), blogs, podcasts and wikis. These tools make it possible for students to "interact, enhance, morph, and create information and then communicate the result to a real audience".
Lynne Schrum and Gwen Solomon stated that teachers should adapt this tools to conceptualize the learning and literacy of the digital literacy of the 21st century. It is also "part of the culture" for it is important to the students' social networking lives. Web 2.0 also tend to entice and engage students and also enhance their learning experience.
* What is a Blog and why should every teacher have one?
Blog is an online tool that enable its user to utilize it in various purposes such as using it as an electronic notebook or journals, learning journal, classroom discussions/forum and management (homework/assignments, hands out, etc), interactive newsroom, personal expression/communicating and writing, etc.
Teachers should have one for their class for it can be their classroom discussion/forum and management place. Schrum and Solomon also says that "teachers use blogs to encourage students to think deeply about issues". it is because students are able to give their opinions, and comments on others, which "support peer editing and sharing". Hence making them engaged mentally. Besides that, blogging would let students express themselves by sharing their experience and opinions, interacts with others globally and gain communication and writing experience practically. Windham supported this by stating that blogging give student opportunity "to practice writing, reflect on others' thinking and respond to critical analyses of one's own work".
* What are the pedagogical implications of student driven BLOGS in contrast to a teacher-created website?
Carie Windham listed some benefits students gain from blogging, which is, the chance to practice writing, see others works and responds, access and turn in homework any time and any where, be in control with their blog in an informal setting and peer interaction through comments. Where else teacher-created website are a 'read only website' which are not interactive, also student are not involve and engage in the learning process.
