A Best Practice is a program which has been chosen by the NJ State Department of Education as an exemplary, progressive teaching format which incorporates Core Curriculum Standards and Workplace Readiness Skills. Appropriate assessment strategies are also included within the Best Practice.
The practice described below is Multicultural Art Digital PowerPoint Portfolios for Young Children from the Brigantine Elementary School system in Brigantine, New Jersey.
In essence, Multicultural Art Digital PowerPoint Portfolios for Young Children are digital portfolios, created by the children, from their artwork created in art class. These are morphed into digital PowerPoint slide presentations, created by the children themselves, in their computer class.
By utilizing the two disciplines towards a final product, the children, at a very young age, are learning to utilize powerful multimedia processes.
