Overview & Rationale

Fine art programs are underfunded in the public school system. Being able to provide iPads for Leavenworth High School's fine arts programs allows the students in these programs to grow their craft. Students being provided an environment to grow their craft is similar to a coach providing an environment for an athlete to grow. Leavenworth is considered a low socio-economic school, providing a piece of technology to help level the playing field for them and allow them to express themselves. Giving students a piece of technology will enhance their learning ability because it lets them work more independently, get feedback quicker, and enhance their workability. 

1.1a Learning Goals - Students articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.

1.1c Feedback to Improve Practice - Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

1.4.a Design Process - Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.

1.4.c Prototypes - Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process.

1.6.a Choose Platforms or Tools - Students choose the appropriate platforms and tools for meeting the desired objectives of their creation or communication.

1.6.b Original and Remixed Works - Students create original works or responsibly repurpose or remix digital resources into new creations.

1.7.c Project Teams - Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
