		<title>Best use of technology in an art classroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my childrens&#8217; school invested BIG BUCKS in doc cameras for every room, I have to admit I was a bit sceptical.  It seemed like so much money and there seemed to be so many other things to spend it on.  However, when the principal did a presentation for the PTA, I was completely convinced [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=11&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>DAIJ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No art blog of mine could be complete without a mention of Describe, Analyze, Interpret and Judge.  I think that this four step process or framework might be one of the most important things I can imprint in a student&#8217;s brain.  It&#8217;s really quite an easy scaffold that can be used to discuss visual arts [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=10&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Process vs Product</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past several years, my mantra about art education is that it has to be more about process and less about product.  So much of the art done in schools is product oriented and the process, where the real learning takes place, is ignored.  But it is still a struggle.  Right now I&#8217;ve been [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=9&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A way to save time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that has surprised me in the art classroom is how much time is spent distributing and collecting papers, and then how many of them get misplaced.  My master teacher has a good system for collecting and storing work, but somehow there still seem to be pieces that get misplaced or lost.  I keep [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=8&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>When I get my own room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spending time in the art room at school has been such a joy for me.  For so many years I thought about what my own art room would look like.  There are many things about the room I am currently working in that I like and would want in a room of my own.  However, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=7&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Simple is sometimes best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week I witnessed a simple assignment that dealt with creating overlapping images.  It was with a kindergarten class and the tools needed were no more complicated than paper, pencil and a template.  The children were instructed to trace one image, then trace two more behind the initial one.  To successfully do so, they had [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=6&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Art Education is more than making pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week my master teacher devoted considerable time to talking about art with the students.  They didn&#8217;t get much time to work on their assignments.  Sometimes this felt frustrating because it&#8217;s so easy to think that art education only happens when students are using art supplies.  However, I was reminded that two [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=5&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Second week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been times during this journey when I have thought that I was being completely foolish to want to get into art.  Having to get another endorsement on top of the K-8 cert seemed like a lot of extra work.  And what are the odds that I will be able to convince [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=4&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The journey of a future art teacher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, maybe I&#8217;m not really a future art teacher, because I&#8217;ve been teaching art for almost 10 years.  But currently I&#8217;m seeking my k-8 teacher cert and my visual arts endorcement so that I can be paid to do what I&#8217;ve been doing for free.  It&#8217;s an interesting journey, especially since I live in a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artteacherbetsy.wordpress.com&blog=1839915&post=3&subd=artteacherbetsy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
