Art Teachers and the Web

Wikis, blogs, podcasts, Web2.0, Web3.0, and the list goes on and on. Do you feel overwhelmed and wonder where to start? If so, help is on the way!

Your first task is to replace your daily newspaper with an online version that lets YOU customize the content. With a free tool like Netvibes or iGoogle, you chose the content that is updated on one page within your computer’s browser.

I found myself having a hard time keeping up with it all. There are a few websites that I often visit, as well as a few blogs that I frequently check. With a customizable digital “newspaper,” all of the updates come to me on one page. I set my Netvibes page as my homepage so that it is the first thing I see when I log in. Now, I feel more up to date with the world of art education. You can too!

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about your own digital newspaper experiences.
