Running Header: IPAD IN THE CLASSROOM
Introduction
Cultural awareness is an important topic within classes to allow students to gain better
understanding of peoples differences, similarity, gaining respect for others. Through researching
about the Aboriginal culture observing then creating, art students will gain a better understanding
and acceptance of other cultures. Students will explore the culture using technology within their
art lessons, allowing students to hone on skills needed to be 21st century learners. This lesson
allows students to express their creative interruption of an Aboriginal dot painting. Students will
use the iPad and the application Art Studio to create their work of art within the art classroom.
They will work independently on their work of art, when finished students will share work for a
class critique. Working on the iPad to create a digital painting allows students to express their
creative drive in different medium.
Teachers need to meet the different learning styles of their students, the use of an iPad could
be one answer to these needs. Allowing students to create a work of art using technology gives
students the opportunity to express their creative drive in different medium. Using an iPad may
inspire a student who is reluctant to use traditional medium. It may also encourage students who
have tactical issues to engage in this expressive means. This lesson brings together the need of
your students and goals of 21st century learning strategies.
