Sitings at SITE
Susan Santoli and I have arrived and found friends, colleagues and co-presenters Jeannette Fresne and Peggy Delmas. Susan has downloaded her QR reader app and we are ready to experiment and learn about new technologies.
Off to share our first presentation on technology in Arts in Education with Jeannette. Check out Peggy's first day blog post at http://t.co/YqnBYAHvp3.
Our first presentation, a roundtable sharing ways we integrate technology in the Arts in Education grant, was very fun. Great participants from Chili, the UK (now living in New Orleans) and Maryland. We had a nice exchange of ideas on integrating the arts and technology utilization.
Great lunch at Huck' Finn's between presentations. Complete with a sampler platter of "Nawlin's specialties and fried alligator!

The 4Cs
"In an increasingly complex, demanding and competitive 21st century, students need to learn more than the 3R’s they are tested on in school. It’s time to help them go “above & beyond”, by embracing the 4Cs – communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity."
Resources at the Partnership for 21st Century Schools
http://www.p21.org/tools-and-resources/abovebeyond4cs
“Above & Beyond” was written by NY Times #1 best-selling children’s book author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds (The Dot, Ish, The North Star.) Peter is a tireless champion of creativity and innovation in the classroom.

Impressive CDPI Colloquium: Nick Rushby, Editor of BJET
I was thoroughly impressed this afternoon with our guest at the University of South Alabama (USA), College of Education Center for Design & Performance (CDPI) Colloquium: Nick Rushby, Editor of the British Journal of Educational Technology (BJET). I was especially proud to have the editor of a journal of the caliber of BJET sharing ideas with our faculty and graduate students.
Dr. Rushby began by making reference to the following quote:
The attribution to Bernard is due to John of Salisbury. In 1159, John wrote in his Metalogicon:
Bernard of Chartres used to say that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size.
Rushby used the metaphor indicating that scholarship is built on the shoulders of others. I was very enlightened on the detailed process of publishing a journal from costs to the life of a manuscript under review.
The following briefly lists just a few of the many ideas I took away:
- What a publisher gives you is status and credibility
- Journals are a way of appraising the work of faculty
- Report failures as well as successes
- Technology articles overdone include "technology acceptance" and "using your mobile phone, do you like it?"
- COPE is the Committee on Publishing Ethics
Special thanks to Dr. Joel Lewis and Dr. Dan Surry, Co Directors of CDPI for bringing Dr. Rushby to USA.
The following is a YouTube Video of Dr. Rushby speaking at a seminar...

NAEA 2013 Beauty is Embarrassing ~ Wayne White
I must admit, I did not know who he was prior to the session and was not a Pee Wee Herman fan, but certainly found his talk entertaining and thought-provoking.
We've been warned that the movie is not g-rated, I think primarily due to raunchy language, but I am interested in seeing it after hearing him speak about art and life.

Amon Carter American Art Museum in Fort Worth
The last in my trilogy of Fort Worth Art Museums was the trek in the rain to see American art at the Amon Carter...well worth the cab fare!
The collection was beautiful and certainly broadened my knowledge of and appreciation for American art.

The gift bag for NAEA members was very thoughtful!

Winslow Homer

| Although, I have never seen this work of art, I knew right away and from a distance this was Winslow Homer. Crossing the Fields |
Thomas Eakins

| Interesting painting and reaction to Eakin's portrayal of nudity, also his self-portrait in the right, bottom corner. |
Frederic Remington
There were so many wonderful pieces to share but I'll end this post with a couple of works
from the great Remington collection...
Civilizations are most often remembered for their art and thought...I have always believed in the definition of an educated man or woman as one who could, if necessary, refound his or her civilization. That means we must teach our students more than hard facts and floppy disks. We must teach them the rich artistic inheritance of our culture and an appreciation of how fine music enriches both the student who studies it, and the society that produces it...The existence of strong music and fine arts curricula are important to keeping the humanities truly humanizing and liberal arts education truly liberating" - Ronald Reagan
Koinobori ~ Japanese word for Carp Kites

celebrated young boys but now honors all
