                LABRADOR'S GEO-NARRATIVE PRESENTATION            
"The Great Art Heist"

     Yes! I have finally completed this requirement for the course! After many hours of video editing and lesson construction, I am able to present to you my Geo-Narrative entitled "The Great Art Heist!"  Although it is an art lesson, this activity can easily be adjusted for any subject!

Here is my video presentation:

Reflection:
     This was a long, but fun project. Because of my prior experience using "Google Earth," I was able to easily navigate through the app and find a creative activity I can do with my students. Particularly interested in teaching art history to my students, I made it a point to do some quick research on very important and popularized artworks from around the world. Afterwards, I constructed a worksheet for students to enjoy--I love making worksheets.  It can be printed or digitally used for the activity.  

     The building process was fun as I video recorded countless mistakes on my desktop. Despite that, I managed to get the right ones rather than redoing it again.  This challenge made me realize that I can explore my creative side in using other online resources.  I developed the mentality of "wanting to keep my class interesting each day."  Now, I feel like finding ways to utilize "Weebly for Education," only because I could see great potential and limitless possibilities of creative lessons. Feel free to look over my videos and designs. Hopefully, I would be one of the people who helped ignite your creativity in designing lesson plans for online resources.
