Classroom/Educational Setting:
Advanced ASL students work towards grasping a deeper understanding of Deaf culture. Art and expression are a large part of this exploration. In this assignment, students will explore different types of Deaf expression and art and their connection to the Deaf community.
Objectives:
Students will be able to explain the role of folklore, ASL literature, poetry, and visual and performing arts in American Deaf Culture as well as reference examples of each.
Copyright:
Students will be expected to create a multimedia presentation focusing on an assigned artist. They will explore the art type as well as the artist's background. Copyright will be an important part of their education as they produce their project. They will also need an understanding of creative commons and what can appropriately be shared in their project.
Application:
Padlet can be a useful tool for easily displaying the student's work. It nicely organizes the information and makes navigation simple. Student's can share what they learn and also link to additional resources.
Reflection:
This has been a valuable exercise for me this week. I had no previous experience with Padlet. I will definitely use this resource in my classes as well as an exploration into copyright and creative commons.
Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteAs an art teacher, I am always looking for ways to make cross-curricular connections. This is a great way to combine deaf culture with the visual arts. While there are currently no deaf students at my school, we have a number of students on the spectrum and this is a great way to include everyone and increase the cultural sensitive of others with special needs. Great topic!
I found the information in this padlet very interesting and informative. It covers a topic that I have not really thought about before. I have taught 1 deaf student and I currently have a student who uses an implant to aid in hearing so I kept them in mind while going through the information. I agree with you on the fact that padlet does a great job of laying out the material in an easy to read and easy to format way for both teachers and students.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I really enjoyed exploring your padlet about deaf art and culture. I liked how you included different types of media like music, art, and videos along with articles that reinforce your subject matter. I am impressed you were able to find such good resources licensed under Creative Commons copyright and in the public domain.
