whas up yo?
well as ms. soyak was talking about i have been working with my advanced art class at Waltham High on Urban Landscapes. Part of what we are doing is using a website i created from the free source wikispaces.com. it provides mutiple pages and a variety of layouts to choose from. I have placed the lesson plan for the unit, an online gallery of different artists works, goals and obectives page, vocab page, etc. My favorite part though is that i gave each student thier own page. On these pages i am posting their work as it is in progress. The students then can comment on their students work using the online discussion. So far it has been very successful and the students have begun posting their own images and pictures that they want on their page. It also is a secure site only accessible to people who are invited. This way i am able to post pictures of the students working. I still chose to only use the students first name though, as you never know. anyway you should check out the site and see about the possibilities of using it your own classes. i plan on using the site for other projects of theirs as well and continue using it in the future.
