From the section Cross-curricular resources I would use the article entitled Digital storytelling within my classroom. Learning how to visually narrative is important for those of all ages as we are living in a visual world. Also creating digital stories is a lesson that can be adapted to fit those of all ages. Thus it can be taught at a beginning level, and then become more advanced for older students.

A resource from apple.com I would use in my future classroom is about creating movies/ films through the use of apple products. The “Making a Movie” Curriculum outlines possible lessons and ideas of what to teach a class about movie making. From this resource I could either directly use the lesson ideas outlined within the article, or I could create original lessons that are based off of those within the article.

This site offers an article on “Why Champion Social and Emotional Learning?: Because It Helps Students Build Character”.

I would utilize this resource by designing lessons that emphasize emotions and that work in groups. By doing this students will have to analyze their emotions in order to create art from them. By working in groups students learn to compromise and use teamwork
