Here is a Webquest that I created for a Visual Arts 3o project. I integrate the Evergreen Curriculum with the Module 21 on Personal Identity and Independent Study. This module is optional and I thought I would create my own project for my students. They are to create Artist Trading Cards. I hope you enjoy it! HERE IT IS.

My Thoughts on Teaching 10:50 pm
Well, it’s now the end of the semester and the end of my ECMP 355 class. I have learned so much in this class and I will use it to my benefit. I cannot imagine going into teaching without all the tools I have learned in this past semester. It’s almost as if all these great things( blogs, tools, podcasts, 2.0 classroom) were right under my nose all this time but I had no idea what any of them were for. I would like to thank my prof for all the help he gave me. It was such a treat to be in such a class where things are achieved through participation and hard work but while learning sooo much at the same time. I would like to wish everyone great success in their future and good luck on your finals!

I’m finally getting my computer back today!! YAY! Now all the work I put will be on it and I’ll be able to finish all my work properly. My portfolio won’t be done today tho just because I am going to get it at the IT support center right now. I’m so excited to get my baby back! I’ll see you all at pizza pizza. Um, if anyone sees this before hand, could you tell me which room we are in? thanks
Monster Exchange Tuesday, Dec 4 2007
My Thoughts on Teaching 6:33 pm
The monster exchange project began in 1995 and is designed to develop reading and writing skills while integrating computer technology. As I was viewing this site, an idea came to mind and I believe it would work perfectly in the classroom, not only for English writing but also for art. These children start off creating their own monster with very original traits. This helps them use their originality and drawing skills. They then describe every aspect of their monster and send the description to another student anywhere around the world. The other student, based on his knowledge of what the monster could look like, recreates his own version. I believe this is so great and plan on using it in my art classes. Here is an example of BAM
Original: Jennifer V. Redrawn: Shrestha
Here is the description as to what Shrestha had to work with.
Here are other similar website in which the child can use his or her crafting skills
Trading Cards (done here in Regina in collaboration with the Art galleries)
Did you say 3? Sunday, Dec 2 2007
My thoughts 9:32 pm
I had a very nice week-end and today means back to work. It only hit me this morning that we only have 3 official days of school. That also means that all my work from this semester must be done and ready before the end of the week. I’m getting a little bit nervous but I just like to tell myself, as sooo many others have told me, it will all be worth it and done soon! I can’t wait for Christmas. The skin I have for my page makes me feel so anxious for Christmas. Every time I come on my blog, I get that nice little tingly feeling. Well, that’s all for now, I have to finish an essay that is due tomorrow.
