AETE648 Teaching in New Media 3cr

Through project-based inquiry, this course addresses issues of teaching art in new media. Students evaluate the roles of new media technology for existing PK-12th grade art curricula and develop projects that support the art making experience. The course emphasizes building inventive, interdisciplinary curriculum for teaching art. Most classes are structured as a combination of lectures, conversations, visits to maker labs, research, and studio time. The final project for the class is the development of an interdisciplinary lesson plan/unit with supporting materials.
