Take some time out with art! In Ways of Looking, join NGV educators and guest presenters to discover different strategies and approaches to use in the classroom to foster students’ observation, interpretation and responding skills.
Stories are a powerful tool for learning. They link ideas, people, places and feelings and transform isolated facts into memorable details. Connect your students with remarkable stories behind works of art in this Professional Learning for teachers. Join Mary McGillivray as she shares some of the approaches she uses to create digital stories and consider how these strategies might be applied in teaching and learning across the curriculum. Discover how narrative techniques and technology can engage students and empower them to become storytellers as well.
