Welcome to Art History

Kia ora,
Welcome to our community of art historians. I hope that you have a year that excites and challenges you.

A few bit and pieces to be focusing on to get yourself set up well for the year.

In our google community (which you will be invited to join shortly) can you make a couple of posts
1. Introduce yourself. Who are you? What is important to you? And what are your interests outside of school? Try to post a picture with this that either shows what is important to you or what your interests are.

2. What is on your reading/viewing list. In the community post images of the last three books you read and a short blurb of why they were interesting, or why we might want to read them

3. Post 2 truths and a lie about yourself (without giving away which is which).

I'll try to lead the way with examples in the community

We will build on these tasks in class, so it is important that you do these before Thursday next week (7th Feb). 

There will be a focus on developing connections as a community in the first few weeks, as this course is discussion based and it is important that we are working well as a team.

Aside from that a few technical things to be on top of:

Please save https://netnzl3arthistorians.blogspot.com/ https://ah3netnz.weebly.com/ and https://plus.google.com/communities/111941673671997093518 to your bookmarks as you will be using these frequently! Take the time to familiarise yourself with the class sites and where everything is kept.

There will also be a NetNZ student profile for you to work through in the first few weeks. Your eDean will share this with you and hopefully walk you through this. Once you have completed these we can set up a one-to-one interview with me. If you did the profile last year, it will be a case of just updating it.

That's all for now. See you in class

Art History VC 23/09/20

 Kia ora all, How are we all? -to some of you For those of you who are working on the internal and not sitting the art history external/s this week is a natural ending point to your course with the assignment being due on Friday. My grand plan is to get marking sorted this weekend so that my moderator has all of the holidays to look at your work. All going well I should have marks back to you in week one of term four. Online courses can often have an abrupt ending when students go on study leave or complete their internal programme ... I wanted to give people a chance to reflect on how they've grown as a learner and the skills or mindsets they'll take with them. Add your reflection here  Maybe do this as you join the call so that you have something to do as everyone else is connecting. We'll then have a bit of meta chat about this. I'm going to poll you on how you are feeling about your work in art history (assignment or externals). I'll then open up the floor for q...

Our Google Meet 21/02/19

21/02/19 Admin: Have we got set up with our netnz address yet? Here is  a guide for how to do it  and here is a  video  I recorded of setting up my netnz to forward to my regular mailbox, so I don't have to keep track of 2 emails. Sorry I was figuring out how to do it while I was recording, so please be patient I did get there in the end. You will need the netnz address primarily to access the Google+ community (Google will make it so that you can only access a community if you are from the same education domain as the owner e.g. netnz). How I'm organising my blog. As a research team which area of art history do we want to focus on? We need to pick whether we want to focus on Late Renaissance or Early Modernism as a group. We'll discuss this as a class. Getting to know each other.  Review  the work that we've done so far. Where in the world. Explain your location to the class and why you identify ...

Our Google Meet this week.

I would like to start using screencastify to record our google meets so that we can refer back to discussion if that is ok with you. I would keep them in a google drive folder that is accessible just to us. Today's recording in particular would be shared with my HoD who appraises my teaching each year. Today will be a bit admin-y as there is a bit to cover in terms of what we need to be working towards NCEA wise. Starting with what's on top for us . What is happening in our worlds and where we are at with our research into the values.  Please share some interesting discoveries and how they have helped your understanding of the big picture.  What has been helpful for you (on the website, on KF or some other sources?  (NB - when you click on the link, scroll down to the red padlet). We will then spend a bit of time adding to Knowledge Forum . This could be adding research you have been  doing as a note. Or new questions that have come up after doing research...
