This podcast episode from The Art of Education University discusses how teachers can use humor in the classroom to build relationships, increase engagement, and create a safe learning environment, especially in the art room. The speaker explains that humor can help students feel comfortable and more willing to take risks. Still, teachers should be thoughtful about how they use jokes, sarcasm, and playful comments, as students may interpret them differently. The episode shares examples such as intentionally making mistakes during demonstrations, using lighthearted comments to keep students engaged, and choosing humor that supports learning rather than embarrassing students. Overall, the message encourages teachers to use humor intentionally to make class enjoyable while maintaining a respectful, supportive atmosphere.
tag(s): classroom management (143), humor (20), podcasts (169), teaching strategies (77)
In the Classroom
Start a lesson by intentionally making a funny mistake during a demonstration, such as using the wrong color, holding a tool incorrectly, or pretending to forget a step. Ask students to catch the mistake and explain how to do it correctly. Use lighthearted class discussions about appropriate humor, asking students when jokes are helpful and when they might hurt someone's feelings. Try a teacher-student improv activity where students quickly add a funny detail to a drawing, story, or idea the teacher starts.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Each group can build a small part, then the class combines the pieces into one large pattern. Have students design their own fractal artwork using drawing, coloring, or digital tools such as Google Drawings, reviewed here. They can repeat shapes, zoom in on patterns, or create symmetrical designs inspired by the examples on the site. Use one of the Fractivities worksheets to explore how fractals relate to fractions, multiplication, or geometry. Students can calculate how many shapes are added at each step and predict what will happen next.

The Image Accessibility tool is a simple, web-based AI utility that helps educators and content creators generate accessible text descriptions and alt text for images, making visual content more accessible to students with visual impairments or who rely on screen readers. Users upload an image, and the tool uses a language model (GPT-4o) to produce concise, objective descriptions and longer image summaries to add to digital course materials, improving accessibility. This feature supports universal design for learning by helping ensure that images communicate meaning effectively to all students, regardless of how they access content.
tag(s): Accessibility (12), artificial intelligence (335)
In the Classroom
Introduce the tool during technology lessons to teach why accessibility matters and how inclusive design helps everyone, not just users with disabilities. Teachers can use the tool to generate alt text for images in Google Slides, Docs, or worksheets so all students, including those using screen readers, can fully access lesson content. Students can compare AI-generated image descriptions with their own written descriptions, revising for clarity, precision, and strong word choice.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Find four interactive art games perfect for use as back-to-school and getting-to-know-you activities in this blog post from an experienced high school/middle school art teacher. Each activity description includes the approximate time to complete the activity, directions, a material list, and a picture of a completed activity. Some materials are commonly found in classrooms, such as markers and copy paper; however, other activities require common items that might not be readily available in your classroom, such as blue painter's tape and hairspray. This post includes links to blogs and Google Slides presentations that provide additional support and ideas for using the games.

The author provides a note of caution that some games take a little more prep time than others. Make sure to read the time estimates when planning to use an activity. Use these suggestions as a back-to-school activity to support teamwork building.

The Smithsonian Learning Lab is a free online platform created by the Smithsonian that gives teachers and students access to millions of authentic digital resources, including images, videos, historical documents, artwork, and scientific materials from museums, archives, and research centers. The site allows educators to discover ready-made collections, create their own lessons using primary sources, and share interactive activities with students using built-in tools such as annotations, questions, and quizzes. Because the resources come directly from Smithsonian collections, the website is especially useful for inquiry-based learning, research projects, and cross-curricular lessons in subjects such as social studies, science, language arts, and the arts.

Students can create their own small collection and write a short explanation of why each item belongs in the group. Assign a document, photo, or piece of artwork from the site and have students add notes explaining important details, vocabulary, or clues. Students can identify what the source shows, who created it, and why it is important.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

tag(s): artificial intelligence (335), digital literacy (38)
In the Classroom
Use this interactive game as an engaging activity to start a lesson on digital literacy. For example, challenge students to identify the AI-generated "imposter" among authentic historical artifacts to spark a discussion on the differences between human-created art and generative AI. Ask students to share features in the images that led them to their choices. After students finish several rounds, have them move to Mural for Education, reviewed hereto categorize the visual cues or "glitches" they noticed in the AI images versus the real masterpieces. Extend learning by asking students to select one real artwork from the game and use Canva Docs, reviewed here to create a multimedia report that includes their own creative writing about the artist's technique and the historical context of the piece.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

SkyFrost is a simple, free online tool created by a teacher to help with classroom management by randomly selecting names from a list, which can be useful for calling on students, forming groups, or choosing volunteers. The Name Selection Tool lets you input a list of names, randomly pick one, and remove selected names from the pool. It also lets you drag and drop names between lists and display the selected name on a separate screen, which is helpful for classrooms with dual displays. The site is lightweight, runs entirely in your browser without uploading any data, and can even be saved locally for offline use, making it a practical classroom resource for promoting fairness and engagement in participation.

In the Classroom
Use the tool to randomly call on students during discussions so everyone has an equal chance to share ideas. Ask a fun or reflective question, such as "What is one goal for today?" or "What is one thing you learned yesterday?" Then use SkyFrost to select the students who will respond. Let the tool choose team leaders, helpers, or presenters for activities, review games, or classroom jobs to keep things fun and unbiased.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
