Our group chose to use choice four as our digital movie. We created a fun art project that could be used in young elementary classrooms. Our demonstration shows how to go about the project which takes place on an art talk show called Art with Sarah. Demos are an important part of teaching art classes and are used on a daily basis.

Sarah Neff This is my Web sit Evaluation:

Cool Math 4 Kids By: Sarah Neff [|http://www.coolmath4kids.com] This site supports teaching and learning, because it has a lot of different activities that the kids can use to help them with math problem. This site has all different types of math for all different grade levels. There is really nothing wrong with this site, however it does have a lot of bright colors then can make it hard to read. Although this could be a very helpful tool in the class room. It has a variety of things on it, such as games and lessons. The lessons give you examples on how to work out a problem and show you what you are doing wrong. This is a much better way of having fun with math then with a pencil and paper.


 * I think parents would like the website also, because it is something they can interact with their children and they also can understand it well. The think the bright colors might turn children away if they can't find what they are looking for if they go back to the site. -ER**


 * I really liked this site. I really like the colors and it would be a great site for kids to use for when they want to do math. I agree with you on that parents would like this website because the because the colors might attract a child to play on the website more and they will learn too. I even found this website interesting. I overall I think its a good website to use as a teacher. -AA**

A Plus Math By:Sarah Neff [|http://www.aplusmath.com] This web site supports teaching and learning, because it has different was to help you with a math problem, or if you learned something in class and want to learn more about it this site would help you and give you problmes to work on. There are no limitations that I see, it it easy to use and they offer a lot of different math levels for different ages. It offers help on homework, were you put the homework problem in the blank boxes and it shows you how to solve it correctly. I would deffinatly use this in the classroom. It offers a bunch of different ways to help a child out who is struggling and different ways to make math fun and enjoyable.

Melissa Dembinski This is my Website Evaluation: The Metropolitian Museum of Art [] This website supports teaching and learning by having biographical information about artists and paintings online for future or regular visitors. By having this type of information readily available, they are assuring that the knowledge of art will not be lost. The only limitations that I found in the website would be that the whole collection of the museum was not online. I would use this website in my classroom as an example site for students to visit or to find information about when I assign a paper about a artists.

The National Gallery of Art [] Evaluating this website was very similar to the website that The Metropolitian Museum of Art had. However, The National Gallery of Art displayed their information in a much more interactive way. When looking up information for Claude Monet, I was able to go on tour by just clicking a button. While on the tour, paintings and text about the artist changed. I liked how interactive this website was. I would definitely use this website in my classroom as a reference to sources for creating a paper.


 * This website is also a great website for research and presentations. There is good visual images of artwork. The website is great to keep students interested and they won't get bored. -ER**

This is my Website Evaluations: The Art Kids By:Erin Romel The art kids website is a great website for young students. The website does not have a lot going on, and is very simple to figure out. I think children of preschool age could figure it out. The website is great for learning because it had coloring pages with number, letters, animals, and also shapes. Coloring letters and numbers could be more fun the just writing them down on paper. The students can upload their pictures to the site's art gallery, where they can look and see their work and be proud. There is no advertising so parents and teachers can be sure the children don't click on things they will take them away from the site. The limitations are, that sometimes not all the pages open, so that can be frustrating to the teacher and student. Also the website isn't really made for older children so if they were on the site they would get bored fast. The website is easy enough that a classroom on children could be working at the computers and not have a lot of questions that would occupy the teacher. It would be manageable. In classrooms today young children have short classroom times so this website is easy enough for a classroom to work at and have fun without a lot of complications. There is a sketch book kids can draw in which would save a lot of paper sometimes. Sketches usually are thrown away because they are pre-drawings. The website would be fast and easy for short time classes with young students.

 * I really like this web site, it is colorful and fun looking. However, it is slow to loud the pictures because there are to many. This site could be used in the class because you can upload your work to the website so everyone can see it and it can't get damaged. -SN**


 * This website was really a lot of fun and definitely geared towards younger children. There was a lot of useful art knowledge placed in the fun game like activities, however, I found there to be a lot to do which made me want to play with everything. I believe that if I were an elementary student I would have a hard time doing the activities my teacher wanted me to do. -MD**

NGA Kids By:Erin Romel National Gallery of Arts is a great website fun of a variety or art from paintings, to research. This website is for older students. There is a lot going on in the website and it has a lot to choose from. Teachers and students can use this site from presentations and research of self education purposes. The students can make their own work. The limitations are that there is so much going on it is hard to describe where to go if a teacher was explaining directions, also students could get overwelmed with all the great options that are provided. Teacher can teach students about different art and artists through presentations and there are great articles students can read. The articles are layed out well with good font sizes.

 * I found this website as a good reference. I agree it does have a lot to choose from and as an art student too I would use this website for research. I overall really liked the website but I do agree with you on the limitations, there is a lot to be looked at. -AA**

This is my website rubric Colors in Motion By: Amanda Anderson [|Colors in Motion] Colors in Motion is a great website for a person of any age. It provides information about color theory and allows for fun interactive clips that tell what which color means. Teachers and students are able to use this site to obtain information about colors and what colors can express different moods. This site also could be a good reference for a project or something to help you get started. The limitations is that you have to wait for each color to load while watching the clip, but the wait is worth while. This site is overall a great way to learn visually and gain a little bit more knowledge of different colors.

Color, Contrast, and Dimension By:Amanda Anderson [|Color, Contrast, and Dimension] Color, Contrast, and Dimension in New Design is a great interactive website that provides information about color, contrast, and dimension. This site allows you to learn more about color, contrast, and dimension by interacting with the website. You are able to click on different colors to change the color of a painting, learn more about the use of colors and contrast, and learn how these things can add dimension. This is site is great for teachers to use with students because it attention grabbing and allows for students to interactively learn. The only limtation to this site is that some of text appears small and sometimes too small.


 * I could not access this site so that might be a problem when the students try and access it. -SN

I was able to access this website and I really liked it. I definitely think it was geared towards middle school students and above. The design of the website was really sweet and I liked how it gave information about color and contrast with Alber's excercises. I was really impressed with this website and will probably go home and check it out as it applies to one of the classes I'm in right now. -MD**
