 * 1) 3 STUMBLE UPON

// 1. How does this resource represent Aesthetic Education? // This site involves students to become interactive by either watching videos on a lesson plan, or playing educational games.

// 2. What do you notice about the specific resource(s) you have chosen to explore? // To be honest, I am not a fan of this site, just because it is not user friendly and was very hard for me to navigate around. You first after making an account select of group of interests that you have from a selection, and then your home page is a news feed with interesting videos and sites that are waiting for you to explore!

// 3. How is (or might) this resource be used in teaching and learning (as it relates to Aesthetic Education)? //   //This could be helpful for teachers to get ideas and brainstorm ways to teach the material to children. It is a tool that provides and gives ideas for interactive ways children can absorb material taught in the classroom.// // #4 VOICE THREAD // https://voicethread.com/?#q+children+diversity.b1169699.i6303718

// 1. How does this resource represent Aesthetic Education? // Voice thread is an awesome tool for children and teachers to use. You can make movies to show to the class with your personal voice recorded over the powerpoint. The link I chose shows pictures of different artworks that mainly focus on diversity.

// 2. What do you notice about the specific resource(s) you have chosen to explore? // Voice thread is a very popular tool to use and user friendly. Personally I would never sign up for this tool though because the program is offered for free if you own a mac or apple computer.

// 3. How is (or might) this resource be used in teaching and learning (as it relates to Aesthetic Education)? //    This could be a good tool for talking about counting or learning numbers, therefore the students could singalong with your voice that is recorded over the lesson. Children could follow along, and get more involved rather than doing a simple worksheet. For the diversity link, the teacher could ask open ended questions therefore making the children think outside the box about the art pieces. // # 5 KERPOOF( From cool tools for kids) // http://www.kerpoof.com/

// 1. How does this resource represent Aesthetic Education? // This tool was found under the cool tools for kids site that we have previously discussed in class. I think this is such an amazing tool to use in classrooms to help teach children Aesthetic Education. This site allows you to create your own video about ANY topic. Not only does it allow you to make a video, it allows you to make a card, picture or even tell a story.

// 2. What do you notice about the specific resource(s) you have chosen to explore? // Not only does it allow you to make a video, it allows you to make a card, picture or even tell a story. It is very interactive and is an awesome tool to use on the computer for children

// 3. How is (or might) this resource be used in teaching and learning (as it relates to Aesthetic Education)? //

// This tool is an awesome source for the classroom because you can 100% personal the lesson plan on this website. It offers you many tools and really guides you to different ways to reach out to children in an interactive and   interesting    way. //
