The Dallas Museum of Art is redesigning our whole website with a new design
firm. We are basically rethinking it's design and purpose, and education
will be a big player in the design. I was wondering--do art teachers really
need another website with teacher resources? There are lots out there,
though most (but not all) of the art related ones seem to be just lists of
links and have no original content. We will be designing an electronic
classroom for community, art education and technology use and classes here
in the museum, and there will be a web component to that which will feature
distance education: free or almost free online art/art education classes for
educators and others. My question is this--what else would you want to see?
Do you want images of art, and if so do you have the knowledge and
technology to download and use those images. Or, do you prefer hard copy
materials and slides? Do you want teacher packets online along with those
images? Do you need training in the use of electronic art resources (such as
AMICO, art dictionary online, etc) or are you aware of these resources? Any
input at all from educators would be useful at this point. And if you have a
favorite site that you like a particular part of, tell me about that also
(but please not ones that are just lists of links!!) For example, one of the
best sites I know of is probably known to you because they participate in
this list (http://www.art.unt.edu/ntieva/)Please respond to the list or to
me off list. Thanks
