No Wallflowers Allowed: Students Being Heard
With the use of multimedia, it allows students to be more open in their project that they are working on. Some kids may be more vocal and others are not and with technology their voice will be heard. In addition, it allows not only the teacher to see the progress but also the members of that group to use group processing 9reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better). (Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn, Malenoski, 2007) There are lots of social learning theories to choose from, but the right one to use has to be based on the teacher’s teaching style.
The Voice Thread is a great tool and one for students that are used to the blog and want to input more verbally than just typing in a comment. To hear another person’s voice is more meaningful that reading what they are wanting you to read. To hear a voice you can tell by their tone, there speech, the speed in which the talk, and of how passionate they are of something or how strongly they believe in what they are saying just by listening to their voice.

Project-Based Learning in the Art Room
Art is a flexible subject, a lot like play dough, no matter what color it is, what shape you form it into, or activity that it is used in it is still play dough. Students have to learn about where it comes from and how to work with it. You have practice using it to master it and share your ideas with other people and learn from their experiences. Are we still talking about Play Dough or Art?
As with both, to learn these subjects the style that best incorporates the best is the project-based learning (PDL) style that engages experiences that involve learners in complex and real world projects through which they develop and apply skills and knowledge. (Orey, 2001)
Project-Based Learning (PDL) allows the students learn from a developed idea through the use of the three phases of planning, creating, and processing. When learning about a new subject or medium to work with, student artists must research the medium, how to work with it and incorporate it into different projects that demonstrate their understanding and mastery of the medium. The student then shares their understanding with others and share the ideas that they have with others. In turn, the other students share their ideas with examples, Power Points, or open a blog posting for others to give feed back.
This learning style promotes self-expression in the fullest way within the art room. To be able to express one’s self is important but to understand and learn from the activities and project that they have just completed.
