Help. Graphic/Web Design. How to Teach Graphic Design in High School. Philip Kunze » Teaching Graphic Design. I’ve been teaching in the BFA graphic design program in the Gwen Frostic School of Art at Western Michigan University since 2001. As an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Art, I’ve been teaching form and typography courses in the design curriculum. I’ve also taught exploratory courses in time and place storytelling. We accept 20 students into our three-year program each year, thus maintaining an enrollment of approximately 60 students.
Each semester, students take at least two graphic design courses. Here are highlights from four of the courses I’ve taught: Graphic Form, Typography I and II, and Graphic Design for Non-Majors. Graphic Form I’ve taught Graphic Form for the past eight consecutive years. In Graphic Form we begin with studies of organic forms, learning design process along the way. I’ll introduce you to the Graphic Design Class of 2008 when they were sophomores Spring Semester 2006. We began with fruits and vegetables. Enough fruits and vegetables (for the moment).

Interactive Whiteboards are phenomenal tools. Don't know what an interactive whiteboard is? Perhaps you've heard of some of their brand names - SMART Board, ActivBoard, eBeam, Mimio, and Webster are some of the most widely used at this time.
"Interactive whiteboards are used in many schools as replacements for traditional whiteboards or flipcharts. They provide ways to show students any thing which can be presented on a computer's desktop (educational software, web sites, and others). In addition, interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record their instruction and post the material for review by students at a later time. These are some resources for interactive whiteboards.

The Value of Using Cell Phones to Enhance Education and Some Concrete Ways to Do So. I am offering a class through the Office of Instructional Technology this Friday that among other things shows educators how to use Google SMS to enhance teaching and learning.
When participants ask questions and colleagues (in this case the class facilitators) send emails like this one or this one that inquire why I offer a class informing educators how to use sms texting as an educational tool even though cell phones are banned in NYC schools, my answer is easy. I am fortunate to work in an office that believes in being leaders rather than followers in providing innovative support to educators. With technology changing at lightening speed, many of our educators don't yet know what it is they need to know in this vast and ever-changing 21st Century landscape and it is the responsibility of our office to help inform the educational community. and learning because we must prepare our students and teachers for the world of today, not the classrooms of yesterday.
