I would definitely use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator in my classroom. I feel it is important for students to learn how to create artwork in digital programs. I would introduce them to Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I would collaborate with the class and create a digital story.

I would have mac computers available for the students to work on. I feel the Mac is the best computer for creating design and artwork. I would try to have the Macs available if it was in the schools budget. The Mac computers are easy to use and are designed to be energy efficient. There are also educational discounts for the schools if they purchase several computers.

I would use Project Learning. I think this is a great way for students to connect with other students and explore real world problems. Students will be able to gain self-direction and research skills as well as hands on experience. Students will be learning several different skills that will help them later in their life. I would have the students focus on what they can do to be more earth friendly and green.
