| I'm really interested to hear if anyone is using "Problem Based Learning" in the art room? I'd like to incorporate it into my grade 12 class, but I'm at a loss for where to start. There is more information on Wikipedia, if you're interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem-based_learning Thanks. | ||||

| Art lends itself really well to inclusion. I usually do quite well at accommodating my lesson plans for everyone's needs. But I have a severely autistic child coming into my classroom this year and I want to meet their needs to the best of my ability. Any lesson plan ideas or advice? | ||||

| Hello, I work at a K-6 school and all the other grades 1-6, except kindergarten I've got it down. For some reason with my kindies is that they are not engaging enough, or get really bored during the projects. Any thoughts on engaging and fun projects just for kindergarten? Thanks! | ||||

| In 2008, we did a giant post-it note wall. It ended up being an impressive installation piece that got us on the news. Each post-it told of an important issue, a quote, a fact about the candidate, or opinions from the student body about the candidates. Anyone else planning something along these lines? | ||||
