The full keyboard clickers have been in effect on the Sappington Art Room for a few weeks now and "Wow" what a difference they have made. I have been using the clickers for a quick review at the beginning of each class to discuss the previous weeks activities. The students have shown an incredible difference in recall of vocabulary and artist, as well as, explaining process on projects. By having the students type in their explanations and vocabulary, it seems that they are committing this information to long term memory a whole lot easier. Plus watching the progress bars of each student while they complete these reviews shows me any areas that I may need to review with students again. The clickers are a phenomenal tool.
On a second project I have watched a number of students take on my new digital art projects after completing their studio work. The students really seem to enjoy creating art in the digital medium. I am continuing to develop more projects for them to attempt.
This year is turning into the digital art year for the students of Sappington.
What a great way to make sure all students are engaged in their learning!
