- to a wiki - a shared space for the session used for the creation of common documents
- to two indicatives
- Rembrandt and Collections of his Art in America (an NEH grant for middle and school teachers and students using the standards while joining the arts, ELA, and Social Studies). This will be an interactive online initiative, using technologies for communications, access to people and resources, presentation, productivity, reflection, assessment.
- The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington on Long Island with an initiative to explore the online potential of museums for K-12 students, higher education partners, and others in community. This, too, will be an interactive online initiative, using technologies for communications, access to people and resources, presentation, productivity, reflection, assessment.
- to a conversation area begun at NECC 2007 and continued afterwards addressing the following:
- step inside the space of the two initiatives and be part of them (at NECC, over the summer, next year)
- the EEV and the two initiatives as model, ripe for replication
- the links of the two initiatives to NETS Standards and Standards in the Arts, ELA, Social Studies
- address the online learning environment - how to make it work for you, how to assess its value, how to assess student learning
- technology tools used to create a learning place (e.g., tools for communications, access to people and resources, presentation, productivity, reflection, assessment)
Guests will join in the session. These will include participants from the two initiatives and others.
