Field Experience
Field solidified for me that I do want to be a teacher, but that I want to teach younger children. The fifth graders were too old and had too much attitude for me. They were cute and fun to work with, but that is not what I want to do. I want to be with the young kids who want to be there and are excited to learn!

Copyright Laws: March third
This is a very important thing for teachers and students to know, especially in today's world with technology in everything. As teachers, we use images and movies a lot so not knowing these laws can be very dangerous.
I will definietly use these laws as a student now and as a teacher in the future. I will be careful with what I use and be sure that I ask permission if I want to use something. I am very grateful I know these things before I get started as a teacher.

February 17: Vidcast

5th grade, fine arts
Standard 4: The students will interpret and apply visual arts in relation to cultures, history and learning.
Objective 3: Recognize the connection of visual arts to all learning.
All indicators
I feel that art is a very important subject for children to learn, but it is something that is being cut from schools all over the nation. I want to incorporate a lot of art in my classroom and this is something that I would definitely use in my classroom. Learning to analyze and talk about art work is very beneficial and it is something that can be taken and used in other curriculum as well. Learning to analyze and think critically can also be used in many other subjects, such as math, science and language arts.
One drawback to using this may be that taking time with the arts may cut out critical time for other subjects. Although I feel that art is very important, I also know that the other subjects and core curriculum are essential to the students.
My future plans for this series is to make more vid-casts talking about this other core in this subject. Some of those include talking about the time period in which the art was done, learning to express thoughts about the art work and talking about personal experiences that may have influenced the art work.
