I think that blogs can be used for art education just as we are for this class. The teacher posts the assignment up, with clear details, once they are completed. Each student would have to scan or take a clear digital photo of their work and comment on every one's work. It may actually work better then group crits. The kids would not be as afraid to say something in front of their friends.
I agree, blogs can be used as an opportunity to implement, document, and reflect personally and reciprocally on art. If the school administration and faculty are on board this process can extend over the long term - the duration of the time the student is in school. Richardson focuses on the blog as a forum to do this, but other possibilities may be more highly advocated by a particular district or college.
I feel that blogs can be incorporated into art education just as easily as any other subject matter. I actually think that it would be easier because a teacher could easily incorporate the elements and principles of design into the lesson of designing students blogs.
Blogs can be incorporated into an art curriculum in the same way as in any other. I think as long as the teacher comes up with an item for discussion that is art related, the possibilities for it's effectiveness are good.
Blogs can be used in art education because there are so many ways to post personal art or art that has inspired your work. Students are able to look at the work of people all over the world with the Internet. I agree with what everyone else has said about how blogs can be just as easily applied to the art classroom as any other subject.
As some of our classmates have already said, I think that it would be easy to add to the art classroom. Just like any subject art could be enhanced by it.
I learned at the PETE and C conference that a number of teachers are using Blogger to set up free portfolio space for their kids. This is student-authored, and often requires a bit of teacher support to get off the ground. Of course as we are learning Blogger is getting easier to use. As always, the danger with school use of blogs is that ANYTHING can be posted. Where does the line begin and end regarding teacher responsibility for the content of the blog that a student publishes?
I think that blogs could be used in an art education curriculum for keeping ALL classroom teachers on the same page. The teacher posts their lesson topics and learning outcomes for the week, and everyone can be on the same page. Art can transfer the knowledge learned in the regular classroom. I also agree with portfolio space for students as an applicable use.
Blogs are great for online student portfolios and Richardson gives guidelines how teachers can monitor content. He suggests that students submit their postings as Preview, and then after his positive review, only he clicks Publish
