Technology Lesson

Technology lesson topic:
Have my art students create a class website that is linked to the school's homepage. By linking it to the school's page, parents and people of the community can see what students are doing in art classes. Students can take digital pictures of their work and put them on the website and discuss what techniques they have used, what their inspiration was, and anything else that they want to discuss about their pieces. Also through digital pictures and videos, students can also show the process of their projects at different stages.
