Technology Teaching Philosophy:
"My image reflects more about how I feel about technology, I referenced colored and their meaning that move through the piece to show different feelings or stages. Green represents possessiveness, yellow means impatience, and orange stands for pessimism. All of these colors relate to how I don't like technology. Gray represents compromise, turquoise means clarity, purple stands for creativity, and brown means comfort. These are colors that represent my process when teaching technology to students." |
Technology Teaching Philosophy:
"The style I used for my work is free, experimental, open, blended, calm, safe, and natural. The work itself explores the ideas of blending and separating technology in the classroom. While it's important to teach students how to use technology, it's also sometimes important to separate technology from art and not include it in every single element of the process." |
Technology Teaching Philosophy:
"First, it's important to see what the materials and techniques of technology can do. Do not try to make it do what other things do. Then, explore how to make it do what you want. Students will not be able to explore outside the box with technology until they know the basics of how to work the material." |
Technology Teaching Philosophy:
"I think technology is meant to be explored. I think we should utilize the tools we have at our disposal. While black indicates that there are still some unknowns working with technology, all the colors in my work represent the playfulness and creative potential of using technology to make art." |
