This sounds wonderful! I teach 7th and 8th grade Art. I envision a
classroom blog that is interactive. What you are describing here sounds
like something I'd like to look into.
I'd love to hear more after your workshop! Thanks!

Subject: RE: [teacherartexchange] Art Blogs
I am going to a local workshop on blogs, wikis and pod casts for use with
students next week. I plan to use them in my AP Art History class and in my
advanced art class. My first choice is to post a painting and have my
students blog about the unknown (to them) image to see if they can ID it, do
some reference work (become art detectives) and write a wiki about the work.
I have had only 1 experience with generating a podcast with a video, where I
made a first of a planned series of podcasts on Baroque art accompanied with
images. My intent for the podcasts was to have my students listen to them in
preparation of going to a museum to see the actual paintings. I am sure at
the workshop, I will be introduced to other applications, and will share
them with you after the workshop.
