Using technology to create stencils used for spray painting- the reality of the idea and its use was very far apart from the original finding/designing of an idea. Things that looked great on screen were not practical in reality. There were a variety of problems but the main one being a great design using 'technology' did not transfer to the reality of creating a negative image with the spray paint.

My best experience of technology was during a project on Romero Britto- the children felt they needed more ideas to incorporate and the magic that happened when they began their own research was brilliant! The vocabulary, discussion and teaching that happened around shape and line in their ideas was great! Technology was needed to fuel their creativity, influence their choices and give them examples.

- Creating webcasts to model certain skills for students. For example, reading through and marking up a primary source document while speaking thoughts out loud - lets students visually see what I'm doing and also hear what my thought process is.
- Using scavenger hunt type activities to have students do research on their own, but still being able to guide what they are finding and concentrating on. Very specific website directions, however.
