Introduction
My name is Cheryl Jones. I am teaching art in the newly remodeled-into-an-art-room L-7. I do not have any extra activities as of yet (it could be because of my late start to the school year with my foot surgery.)

My Favorites

What I've Learned

 * Second Assignment: ** My Prezi for my Art classes!

media type="custom" key="7792203" ﻿ ** Fourth Assignment: ** ** My favorite website for my classrooms to connect with others across the world is ePals Where Learners Connect. ** **  Under the menu for teachers, I found a link with **//NatGeo//** projects for classrooms to connect. There are projects from a variety of disciplines and that I could probably figure out how to incorporate into my Art 1 classes. But, one project that I can really see working with my Art 1 students is **//Holidays & Festivals Around the World//**. The students will learn about other traditions and customs from other cultures, learn of other holiday celebrations which are not familiar to them, and learn about the symbolism in these cultures. I think my students can connect cultural ideas, practices, and symbols they see in various works of art to first hand information from students around the world in the ePals students forums or through email. I think my students might gain a better understanding of a new culture by connecting to someone/something other than a teacher or a textbook! ** ** Sixth Assignment: **
