BP1 Google Reader







These are the 5 feeds/blogs I am following on Google Reader.


This feed contained information on new video games for the Wii. There were reviews and ratings for each game highlighted. I wanted gaming to be part of my teaching curriculum and this is a good way to get the latest information, tips, tricks and fixes


This site highlighted different artists and art shows across the country. There were art workshops to attend along with tutorials using many different media that included ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and photography to name a few.


The Edutopia site was founded by George Lucas so that education could be taken to a whole new level. This site not only created a site for teachers to blog, it was designed for everybody that has anything to do with education. This includes parents. The site itself was neatly categorized by grade level and type of school and the articles were seemingly endless. I could use this site for classroom ideas and to see what has worked and not worked in the classroom.


Art Education 2.0 was a fascinating online community of art teachers. This looked like a fabulous place to exchange ideas, lesson plans and employment opportunities. It included art teacher forums and blogs. Becoming a member did take time, though. It is worth the wait.

This site had listings on upcoming art competitions from different states, regions and included online shows. The prizes offered to the winners included large amounts of cash and expensive electronics. Competitions like this could come in handy for art students of all ages and up and coming artists.
