Hi! This wikispace is intended to be an online Professional Learning Team for Visual Art Teachers in Harnett County in Grades 9-12. It will serve as a means to collaborate about curriculum, lesson plans, grading strategies, formative and summative assessments, and other issues affecting instruction and learning in our art rooms.

Hey! I'm interested in how you guys are writing lesson plans. Are you having to turn them in? At Triton, we're not sure yet exactly what we will have to do and what we'll have to do with them. I'm currently writing mine this way, which is different than I usually do. This is the template from the HCS website. Could we share some plans sometimes to get new ideas? Click on the button below to see how I'm writing plans.

I've got 2 Art I classes and a combo class of Art III and IV, which does 2 entirely different things all the time. So I've got 3 preps this semester. Not a good semester to start a new lesson plan format. I have 27 and 28 in Art I, and 26 in Art III/IV.

To add content to this wiki, click on EDIT and type (I think). To attach a file, Click on FILE and attach something you've previously saved. I'm learning too, but the great thing is, besides sharing ideas with like-minded teachers, we might can also get a CEU of content area credit, which is the hardest to get now.

Let's all try to log in and contribute either a lesson plan or teaching idea at least once a week. This is take some getting used to, but I think it can be beneficial.

Thanks for your willingness to try something different with me! Cindy Smith

 * When you wiki, to add to the content, click on EDIT (top right), and the page will change to EDIT mode, and you can type. **
 * If you want to add a FILE, like a lesson plan, click on FILE (top of the EDIT screen), and you can upload files from your flash drive, teacher files, or the internet. **

Let me know if you need help, or ask your tech facilitator. I am learning as we go. I am really anxious to start hearing from you all and getting ideas from you.
