It was time to teach the students about abstract art.  Jackson Pollock was first in mind. Pollock struggled as an artist when he was younger. He always wanted to be an artist but his best never seemed to be good enough. He had an older brother who was really talented in art. Jackson Pollock gave up art for a while then later came with the action art and applied drips of paint onto a canvas. Soon he had many masterpieces. Click the link that talks about Pollock to get more information. Or try making one of his abstract action paintings.

Instructional Technology: Looking Backwards, Thinking Forward

The last video I watched was the History of Technology. 

This video showed examples how technology changed in the world and in the classroom. The dates went from 1900 up to today. Computers, audio digitizers, CD ROM players, graphic scanners, and videodisc players just to name a few. The list goes on, showing a classroom of today with smartboards headphones, lap tops, iPads and more. No matter were we go or what we do technology will always be a part of our lives. So in this blog, I showed ways technology can teach in the classroom, and outside the school as well. The video ends with words saying where do we go from here?
