Possibilities
Posted on 10/24/2009 8:06pmI often think about what it would be like for my class to meet other students from around the United States and beyond. Would my students feel inspired by a project another class is doing? Could my class work with another class on some sort of science or writing project? Is there a possibility of problem solving using Wiki Spaces? Living in the Puget Sound area of Washington I often wonder how healthy is the Puget Sound. What is the quality of the water throughout the Sound? Are there any schools within the Puget Sound testing the water and study the Sound? If so, could we exchange data?
I hope that this blog will be a place where educators can share ideas, learn from one another, and have classrooms from around the United States and beyond connect with one another and learn from one another.
What would you like to do? Is there a something you have been itching to do with your classroom? Need inspiration or a push in the right direction?
Think of all the learning possibilities out there. This is a place to share them or be inspired by them.
Come join this community of collaborators.
Posted on 11/07/2009 8:13amI work with the Enabling Support Foundation, a non-profit with a dual mission to support persons with disabilities and K-12 education, and most importantly the intersection of these two missions: special education. You can see the main site at www.enabling.org and the K-12 resource site at www.educationalsynthesis.org.
I am writing this in response to Dr. Bolman's post on art and architecture. I have collected 200 links to the mythology of 20 cultures and a combination of prehistoric art and mythology seem like a natural combination. I can make these links available to anyone who wants to use them to develop a project on art, culture, and ancient history.

The history of art and architecture
I am concerned that the history of art and architecture may be being lost from our schools.
I believe that working with a group of students and their teacher we could build a great art history site over the course of the year. This kind of collaboration would be project based for the students.
Given that students are very technology conscious, know better about how they like to learn that some of us do, I think this would be a great project.
I do hope that some of you will take a look at my site and join me in this project. The site is begun prehistoric art around the world. I chose this because I wanted to begin at the beginning.
As far as I know there are no other online art history courses.
I look forward to active participation!
