I have a google docs with my time line
• I won't be able to currently do this research but it would fit in well during my student teaching semester or within my first year of teaching
• The only changes I would need to make would come if I did this during student teaching. If this were the arena for my research, I would need to collaborate with my host teacher and the school for permission to do artist blogging as journal exercises.
mindwork: grant source
• Inspiration Software "Inspired Teacher Scholarship"
• The goal of this is to award teachers who are working with visual learning using Inspiration software. The prize is $1,000 toward professional development or new technology for the classroom.
• The agency is associated mainly with educators and administrators.
• I will meet the criteria of an educator working with visual learning, but I don't have the software to use in my teaching.
• This agency assumes that visual learning is crucial for students to develop creative thinking and learning skills.
• As an art teacher, this obviously fits in well with my own philosophy.
It would be interesting to use Inspiration software as a treatment in your research. You could look at difference in thinking through concept mapping. The students could return to their paths of thinking as they investigate ideas.
