NETS Summary: The purpose of this session is to provide fun and practical technology-based art activities that are easy to create. Many of the activities contain strong curriculum connections. The student-created trading cards contain information learned during book talks and studies. The magnetic puzzles are based on curriculum concepts like plant parts and the fifty states. By containing a curricular strand, teachers will be able to use these activities in a cross-curricular method combining art, technology, and the particular curricular concept that the activity contains.

Overview &
Objectives: Modge Podge and the computer really can mix! From customized school
activity calendar stickers to high tech wind chimes, this session has ideas for
any computer. During this high-energy, fast-paced session, participants will
learn how to create a variety of technology-based arts and crafts activities
that they can easily replicate. The projects found in this session are made
using a computer and printer. Participants will discover ways to make their
computers and printers an art tool. The ancillary supplies are cost efficient
and easy to find. The arts and crafts activities in this session are ones that
I enjoyed with my students as a classroom teacher and projects that my fellow
teachers have produced with their students and shared with me over the years.
During the interactive portion of the session, the participants will have the
opportunity to receive actual project samples.
Format of
Presentation: lecture-interactive
Outline: 1.
For ease of viewing, the presentation mode will be PowerPoint, but there will
be actual examples of all 75+ activities. 2. To ensure retention and ease of
replication of the projects, participants will receive a CD of directions,
templates, web links, and the session PowerPoint presentation. The information
contained on the CD will also be available on our district’s web site. 3.
Curriculum connections will be explained and covered during the session and in
detail on the CD/web site.

Research: “Children love technology and love the projects they create
with computers. There is no better way to help children (and teachers) learn
new skills and gain new knowledge than through a positive emotional experience
the children will not forget”. Managing Technology in the Early Childhood
Classroom, Hope Campbell, TCM, Inc., Westminster, CA 92683, 1999 “People
the world over have used their imagination to create art since prehistoric
times. Many times as something was discovered or invented it changed the way
they created. Using your computer to make something is a great way to be
creative while having fun with your PC”. Kids’ Computer Creations,
