Participants will learn 4 fun, creative, engaging, and cost-effective projects which are ready for any learning environment, include social emotional learning elements, and are extensions of projects featured in the new ISTE book STEAM Power: Infusing Art into Your STEM Curriculum. The lesson plans are available in the book/online and they address different methods of adding creativity and art into STEM learning. Participants will use free apps to learn how to use and implement free technologies in: Augmented Reality, Coding, Film, and Digital Drawing. We will learn and practice the projects which are featured in the book/online and they will learn how to assess the projects using the ISTE teacher/student standards. We will end the presentation with a brief reflection of what we learned, address the additional available resources, and online assessment of the learning.
After a 10 minute overview participants will collaborate using free tools/apps to create 4 projects:
1. Create a work of code art
2. Design an 8bit animation for a video game
3. Make a short video poem
4. Create a digital and augmented reality drawing
In the last 10 minute we will reflect and learn how to assess the projects using the ISTE standards, assess our own learning using an online contest, and learn to find additional resources.
The presentation is based specifically on the new ISTE book STEAM Power: Infusing Art into Your STEM Curriculum. Recognized experts such as: Scratch creator Mitchel Resnick, technologist John Maeda, Professor Seymour Papert, and Sir Ken Robinson have all addressed the importance of creativity in education and the value of art in STEM learning.
