Dear BJ Berquist,

Just thought you might be interested since you wrote about WebQuests on
ArtsEdNet. Two of my students working toward an MAE who are K-12 art
teachers in Texas created WebQuests for their students. One was funded
by
AT&T and concerns Mexican-American & African-American cowboy culture as
art.
If interested contact Silvia Daneri at sdaneri

The other created by Tifannie Davis concerns the Guerilla Girls and the
issues that they raise. Prior to Tiffanie's 7th and 8th grade students
going into the computer lab to start the WebQuest she had a friend come
into
her class with a gorilla mask passing out bananas to the students that
had
written on them issues about what their teacher taught and what art was
excluded from her curriculum. Tiffanie planned this and acted surprised
but
also acted like maybe she should reconsider her art curriculum. At
Tiffanie's school in Idalou, Texas teachers are required to integrate
technology in each subject area for a unit of study within every grading

period. The teachers decided to do it this way rather than have
separate
computer courses. So not only do these teachers have to meet the Texas
Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) in their area (such as visual arts)
but
also the technology TEKS for their grade level.

In one of my courses for those working toward a BFA leading to art
teacher
certification I have students brainstorm and then select meaningful
topics,
form groups, and create WebQuests for a specified age group under 12th
grade. You can find these and the guerrilla girl one at

Click on courses and then click on 3362 and you will find a list of
them.
