My Prezi



This Prezi gives a bit more visual summary over me and my life. It shows some of my interests and tells a bit about why I want to become a teacher and what made me decide to become a teacher. It goes over why I want to teach art and why I believe art is so important to teach and explore.

Three Great Teachers Blogs

http://thehelpfulartteacher.blogspot.com/

This blog shows the connections between art and the real world. It also helps connect art to other subjects such as math, social studies, science, language arts, religion, etc. I like this blog because not only does it connect art to something other than itself, but to something that everyone can relate to in one way or another. Art is very important to our lives, it tells us about the past, the future, its even a form of expression. this blog helps show how important art is to our everyday lives and humanity as a whole.

This blog goes over different things that teachers may face during their job, whether its education issues, class room culture, getting students to enjoy or be passionate about the subject. The blog even posts about some helpfully resources of even some simple tips. The thing that I like most about this blog is that it's by not just one teacher, but multiple teachers. With the blog being by multiple people you can get more than one view on a subject. The more information and thoughts on an issue or subject the better you are able to address it.

This blog lives up to its name. It is basically a boot camp for teachers. This blog is here to help teachers become better teachers and help them learn how to involve and engage their students during class so that they can receive the best education. What I like most about this blog is that it provides so many examples and tips on how to become a better teacher. Not only is it in written text, but it even provides visual examples as well, which I'm very fond of.

Welcome to my blog

Hello my name is Jonah,  This is my first blog so I'm not too sure how this will turn out. None the less lets start with me. I'm a pretty active person, I like to workout and play all kinds of sports. I like to stay active because personal health is pretty important to me. I also like to do 3D modeling, animation, and dabble in Photoshop from time to time. I'm a pretty open minded person and I like getting different point of views on every topic. That way I can better understand the topic as well as why people feel the way they do about the topic.

I'm currently working on getting an education degree so that I may become a teacher. I plan on becoming a high school art teacher. I started off wanting to help design and develop video games or work on movies. Recently though I decided that I'd much rather teach people those skills instead. I'd really like to teach people how to 3D model, animate, and how to do all sorts of things in Photoshop. As a teacher I want to be able to get to know my students on a personal level so that I may help them learn in a manner that bests suits them. I'd like my students to not feel as if they are just generalized with everyone else, but that they are something more than just a student.
