Formative assessment: is a range of formal and informal assessment procedures, it typically involves qualitative feedback that focuses on the details of content and performance. Summative Assessment:refers to the assessment of the learning and summarizes the development of learners. It is the procedure to assess or grade one's level of learning in certain period of time. For example a test may be given to assess how much a student has learned from the lessons given.
I can use these assessments in my classroom to discuss with students about their work , as well as see what they have learned over the period of their assignments. Grades can be given on their knowledge of the art vocabulary and formative assessment can be used when discussing their work, and how they have used or can improve their knowledge of Art with in their artwork. I believe that technology can be used to support assessment by allowing for teachers to set up quizzes online for students about art topics or artists that they have discussed in class and assess what students have learned. it is also a great way for educators to see where they need to improve their teaching as well, by seeing where students are struggling, and how the teacher can help those students gain that information.

Professional organizations
Professional organizations in education are groups or organizations that aid student teachers and educators by providing resources for particular industries or professions. For example, as an Art educator I have access to the (NAEA) National Art Educators Association and the Nebraska Art Teachers Association (NATA) conferences. These organizations bring Art educators together from all over the us, and help them to discuss changes in the arts in schools, and how we as educators can better the lives of our students through art. The NAEA also publishes books for classrooms and teacher. NAEA also provides expertise, training, and resources that support professional growth and leadership, helping members affect the quality of student learning in their local schools, communities, and states.
The NATA is the Nebraska affiliate of the NAEA, It is a more local based association for Art educators with in Nebraska. Becoming a member of the NAEA also makes you a member of the NATA by being in their district. There is a $35-40 yearly membership charge for student members to the NAEA, and this is also your fee for the NATA. Student ID is required for this discount rate. Advantages of this membership aid in school portfolios and when applying for teaching positions.

Lesson Plan
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RnZxDUQiIQZwdBI5_gwazni9h8MEjwDidh2AZdmRIxw/edit
Title – Artists in History
By – Heather Campbell
Primary Subject – Art
Secondary Subjects – Social Studies
Grade Level – 6-12
Go to the library, computer lab, or classroom computer, to research information about selected artist.
Use reference books and/or the internet.
Project has three parts:
Research an interesting topic about the selected artist (Students will make a list of no less then three topics, and have them on paper to turn in.)
Choose one of the three topics and prepare short Oral presentation to class of why this topic interested you.
Students will create a drawing/painting using the techniques of the selected artist.
Interesting topics for students to research:
Birth date and provenance (location)
Where they lived and studied
Major Accomplishments
What made their work unique or changed the direction of art?
What style of art did they produce?
Grading Criteria:
Research of 3 topics: 15 points (thorough, accurate information)
Oral Presentation: 10 points
Visual assignment: A work of art created by the students that is in the “style” of the artist chosen. Do NOT copy the artists work, the pieces must be original.
!For classrooms with less computers per students:
Students can be broken up into groups, and take turns doing research, while those not using computers can use reference books or work on other art assignments.
!For classes with only one computer available:
Teachers can use resource books or print out topic information for students about the artist being researched in class and leave website link information for students to use if they have internet access outside of class if further research is wanted by the students.
(This is an assignment that does not require all use of technology, but is very helpful as resource books hold only so much information.)

The Digital Divide!
As the use of computers and internet access has expanded in the United states and around the world, the divide between who has access and who doesn't has shrunken exponentially. However, as the introduction of new technologies and ways to access the internet expand, so does the gap of who has the types of new technology. For example, I may have a laptop that I can take with me to different places and gain internet access as long as there is a WiFi access point, but I do not own a new I-phone with which I can get on the internet anywhere! And I am sure many do not. As the advances of technology continue, I believe that there will always be a slight gap in the digital divide amongst what types are used. In the end the type of technology available for use comes down not only to the knowledge of how to use it, but the affordability. If I could afford it, i would gladly use that I-phone, but in the meantime, I am happy with my laptop.
Mind Map (Artist)
http://popplet.com/app/#/246620
My mind map is based of the learning of a famous artist and how that can lead into the learning of other topics associated with the Artist and what they are famous for. I used Bloom's Taxonomy by having a topic where students can learn about a specific artist, how they lived, what was their medium, what kind of paint did the use if they used any at all, and how they can create their own paintings based on the knowledge they have attained about the artist. This lesson can be adapted to many age groups and can be an interesting lesson to teach students not only how to create their own techniques in artwork, but learn about the struggles of those who have attempted the same ideas in the past.

Glogster on Digital citizenship
I chose to focus my Glog on the anti-bullying aspect of internet use. Cyber-bullying is a fast growing way for people of all ages to bully other individuals, and can wreck havoc on anyone. I believe that just as other bullying, Cyber-bullying needs to be addressed in schools, and students need to learn the appropriate uses of the internet and it's improper uses. I also believe that students who have been victim to such bullying need to learn that there are resources out there that will aid in the end of it. In my classroom I will have a no tolerance to any kind of bullying,and hope that any type of computer use in my classroom will not allow students to use them for such. http://www.glogster.com/hesaru/poster-glog-by-hesaru/g-6lml1hl0ig4i2t9l2vi5ta0
I can Mix colors book
http://bookbuilder.cast.org/view.php?op=view&book=56833&page=1
The book I wrote shows the basic colors that are known universally. I not only used words, but pictures to show colors and how they are mixed to create new colors. Also with the aid of Google translate and the book assistants I was able to have the book translated into Spanish. This can also be changed for students of other non-English speaking. It works with the universal Design for learning in that it can be adapted to languages, and has a basic picture to word ratio. it allows students who visually learn to see in the book how colors mix, and it also allows students who are auditory learners to hear the words of the book spoken by different assistants.
