Technology & Pedagogy


        I chose this lesson plan because it is important to bring history into art. There are classes called art history but, it is less hands on and more about slide shows and information than creation. As it is I personally find art history boring.  For me it is better to have a hands on project about history in art. Egyptians have amazing works of art from their funeral ceremonies to the great pyramids. I personally have a love for Ancient Egypt and would hope this information would be portrayed to my students throughout the lesson.
       There were gaps between the curriculum and the NJ standards. The lesson did not give enough information to the students about the history of Egypt. The students need to be taught information before using it. The teacher should allow the students on computers to get them to do some research so they can learn and look up information on their own using a web browser. The main technology that was missing in the lesson plan was a computer. The computer is so amazing and has a great deal of information and pictures from all over. The internet is a great place to find pictures from other people who have traveled the world to places we cannot see. It is amazing what you can see form other peoples vacations.
      Something that would help students out is printouts of pictures from Ancient Egypt. The lesson plan does state that the teacher would normally hand out papers on hieroglyphics and what not. The computer would help get the students to meet the NJCCCS code 1.1.8.D.1. Having the students learn more about Ancient Egypt would give them the ability to look at art and discuss about the mummification they have personally made. Also it would enable the student to then be slightly cultured in the world of Egypt.
