The Mission of this community was threefold.  Members became familiar with a website titled Technology and Standards for Arts Educators  http://www.techresource.50megs.com which is a data base catalog of resources. Internet URL's were explored for the purpose of gathering useful and appropriate content for pedagogical use. Found content was integrated with standards-based model lessons. Web searches were conducted for the purpose of expanding the resources of the database.   The efforts below are first drafts of works in progress. They are beginning efforts which are not to be interpreted as exemplars. If you find some of these efforts stimulating in that they generate a good idea in your mind, then this site will have served its purpose.To view the model lessons contributed to the project by practitioners in arts education click the links below in blue.
