CAMIO would have to be my biggest discovery. I try to integrate art into the elementary school world in many ways, and this is going to be a wonderful resource for me.
I've mentioned lots of specific ways I'll be integrating these resources into my school in earlier posts. Now that I have a sense of all the options available, there are 3 general things I hope to do next year: 1. Ask for 10 minutes at monthly faculty meetings for the first few months of the year and demonstrate just one site per month for the teachers. 2. Ask for 20-30 minutes at a PTA meeting to show parents a few of the sites (World Book, the testing site, and whatever othersthey're interested in.) This will also encourage them to get library cards so they can access the sites at home. 3. Put log-in instructions in the school newsletter in hopes parents will explore on their own.
This has been a great course. Thanks for offering it! I especially appreciated the ability to do it on my own uneven time schedule!

CONGRATULATIONS on completing the challenge, Avid!!! We appreciate your thorough investigation of and comments on these resources. Your plan to introduce these to teachers a little at a time is excellent, and parents will surely benefit from knowing about them, too. Thanks for participating!!!
