Academic Website

For grades 1 through 5, there is a good selection of enjoyable and instructive creative activities on this academic website. Following a thorough review process, is a great resource to utilize in the classroom. It offers a tonne of free instructional resources. To use this website, children
do not need to register or submit any information. All the things to do here are sure to keep kids busy (Frank et al., 2021)
. Is the "Adobe Shockwave Player" plug-in necessary for the lessons?
Web Quest
Colors by Katie Woloschek
Students will be able to learn about basic and secondary colors as well as how to mix them to produce additional colors through this Web Quest lesson. It demonstrates how various responsibilities are allocated to aid pupils in understanding this subject and is both clear and relevant. Every phase is clearly explained, and it gives students who are entering the program at varying levels of proficiency techniques and instruments of organization to help them access and acquire the knowledge they need to finish the work (Sievert, 2020)
. This Web Quest adheres to the criteria.

Kids may learn about artistic expression using this educational software. They can either sketch freely or according to detailed guidelines for making line drawings. They play around with design elements, materials and textures, haircuts, balance and symmetry, and aesthetics. Kids will improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by working on all these masterpieces. Mickey's Magical Arts World offers a plethora of information and avenues for learning outside the screen." This software complies with the appropriate criteria following a critical review. Ideal for recalling, comprehending, applying, assessing, analyzing, and producing (Pellerin, 2018)

Reflection
Teachers should adhere to a strategy when it comes to locating and assessing instructional technology tools for the classroom. In order to enhance students' learning results, this is crucial. Teachers need to have objectives for every program they run. For instance, what are you hoping to accomplish with a particular piece of technology? Instructors also need a reference point to which they may compare the outcomes and determine whether or not there has been improvement. Gather information for upcoming analysis when objectives are established and rubrics are created. After that, educators had to provide a grade for every objective utilizing the rubrics they created or adhered to.
Apps, websites, Web Quest, and educational software all differ from one another. Computer
programs created especially to give or assist one or more learning activities, such as problem-
solving, simulation, problem-taking, drill and practice, tutorials, and instructional games, are known
as instructional software. Academic and instructional websites are created with the express purpose of teaching pupils a certain subject or ability. Web Quests are inquiry-based online resources for classroom instruction where the majority, if not all, of the data that students examine and assess originates from the Internet. Teachers and students may study on a dynamic, user-friendly platform
with instructional applications. If permitted, I would integrate these four categories of educational technology tools into art courses for primary school kids. Kids can use their own devices to access the educational applications. The websites provide students with opportunities to practice, study, and develop their creative talents at home. I chose these particular educational tools because they make art training enjoyable and engaging. But because most young kids will have their own gadgets
by the time I start teaching in a few years, the educational tool I would recommend in my classroom
is Mickey's Magical Arts World. All of the pupils will adore and learn from this cutting-edge program, and who doesn't adore Disney?
