Having completed the ELPC course and taken part in professional practical placement I have a different view on what it means to be a successful educator and what aspects I still need to develop to be the quality teacher that strive to be.

Blogs are the answer!

I was browsing (not procrastinating I swear!) online at art games and came across some cool widgets to add to blogs. I have added Red Easel to the right, providing art information and inspiration. I have also added a Matisse inspired at game at the bottom of the blog. It reminds me of kid pix and Artist Toolkit combined. A good game to suggest students to add if I ever get them to set up blogs as an alternative to Visual and Process Diaries.
To still work on...

Being on professional experiences has made me aware of what I still need to work on when integrating ICT into units of work.
- Don't procrastinate when online researching!
- Don't procrastinate at work when you can use a line off to prepare for classes the next day!
- Don't procrastinate on social networking sites when you have to write essays for university, prepare classes and go to work to earn money!
- JUST DONT PROCRASTINATE!
Professional Experience = HECTIC!

Going into my last week of professional experience placement and it feels like my head is about to explode! Crazy busy and I have never been so exhausted but I am enjoying it alot.
- Starting the new units I booked the smartboard in the library to show powerpoints and images.
- The Year 7 Elements and Principles of Design Class will be using the computer lab in the library to experiment on Artist Toolkit and do some online 3D tutorials.
- Cameras have been used to photograph work and document progress
- Online art competitions have been used in the Year 9 Wearable art unit.
