Web 2.0 Tools

Appendix B: Bloom's Taxonomy Cognitive Brain Chart

Canva is a great tool for middle school and high school aged students, as well as adult students and artists alike. There is an option to invite others to collaborate on projects, which is an invaluable option. I do believe that after working in Canva, there is a place for my second grade digital art students to work within the tool. We learn about avatars and branding, layout and design throughout the year. I would like to incorporate a project that involves logo/avatar design. Students can use templates, stickers and text to create their character, and then by extension, a logo for the avatar or an aspect of said avatar. On more complicated projects, I create Screencastify videos or self-paced Pear Deck for Google Slides that demonstrates step-by-step. Students then pause the video as they go and work along side it. I walk around the room modeling and trouble-shooting. This has allowed for the more advanced students to work at their own pace, and frees me up to help any student who needs it. I believe that I would use this approach with a Canva project.

      Canva is a Web 2.0 design tool that is user-friendly and visually stunning. Over the past few years, Canva has become a household name because of its user-ability and educator friendly free premium upgrades that had a huge impact during the Covid-19 pandemic. Canva can be used by artists and educators alike to create anything from social media posts, logo design, video creation and presentation, poster and marketing design, the list goes on. They have a seemingly endless stock of fully editable templates, direct access to stock photography and audio, and have linked up with apps like Bitmoji, Giphy and Book Creator.

Welcome to Book Creator! I have turned on collaboration, so you are able to click the "+" button at the top right and add any elements or comments you would like to this book!

You can also click the "record" option under the "+" to add voice recorded notes as well! My students love when I do that! My audience for these tools are 1st and 2nd grade digital art students. I decided to try and add fun elements that I would use with them, as well as keeping with a Master's level project. I hope I've succeeded.

      When I decided to return to public school teaching after more than a decade hiatus, I realized quickly that I needed to take some classes on current teaching methodology, pedagogy and technology. My very first class from the Educational Service Center of Lorain County was a Book Creator course attached to a graduate credit. I enrolled in the course strictly for the graduate credit, and that decision ultimately changed the direction of my teaching career. 

Book Creator is a Web 2.0 tool that can be used by anyone and any grade level for any content area. I've used it with 9th and 10th grade, 7th grade, and 1st and 2nd grades, in the general content areas of visual art and digital art. The teacher has the ability to turn on collaboration for the books, and create new libraries to house certain groups/collaborations. Students (with teacher permissions) have the opportunity to publish their books online, taking it global. Students in Los Angeles could work with students in Cleveland with an ease that even the biggest digital divide couldn't break. Book Creator has also, like Canva, upped it's game and partnered with other 2.0 tools like Giphy, Bitmoji and Canva. This is a crucial step in help to reinforce learning across platforms, which will help to ease that digital divide.

I have created a lot of different lessons and executed many different ideas with and in Book Creator, from "Getting to Know You" books to "Silly Superhero" comic books; to collaborative Tall Tales and Class Books; lesson plans and idea pitches to administration. The applications for this tool are endless. If I had my druthers, and hopefully I will figure it out soon, I would engage in a collaborative effort with a group in another state or even country! If we could collaborate with an entirely foreign-to-us class, be it across the country or across the world, how fun would it be to create a compare and contrast book about the differences in our lives. It could be called "The Grass is Always Greener", or "This Versus That", or "Tell Me What I Never Knew". We could exchange pictures, audio files, data, interests, day-to-day routines, favorites, etc. It would be so interesting to see how the students would absorb and use the information they were given. Would they use their imaginations? And in what ways? The possibilities are endless.

According to the Center for Digital Education and Cisco: "Today’s technology-empowered educator must wear more hats to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn in an environment that meets his or her individual needs and abilities." Web 2.0 Tools have been the glue that pastes my career to my interests. I love technology, I grew up in a house that has always embraced and utilized the latest trends. I am a photographer who learned in the time of the darkroom and emerged from undergrad in the time of Photoshop. I am intrigued and challenged and enlightened by technology daily and it is my pleasure to pass my love of all things creative mixed with all things technical mixed with trial and error and excitement and wonder on to the next generation that will be creating this amazing technology that is creating this wonderment. We truly live in an exciting and daunting time.
