AMICO IUPUI PROJECT Educational Links
The following links could be of use when working on K-12 curriculum development.
AMICO Members LinksUniversity Testbed ParticipantsThe National Museum of American Art has a program called The Community Discovered, which works with teachers in Nebraska to "develop constructivist curriculum models of engaged student learning using technology and the resources of the Internet".
- Please visit http://communitydisc.wst.esu3.k12.ne.us/default.html to learn more.
- You'll find already developed curriculum units for this program HERE.
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Center have joined forces to create an exciting project called ArtsConnectEd that compiles all sorts of education resources possessed by museums in one place.
General Educational Curriculum LinksMany Professors who participated in the University Testbed project created interesting Study Web Pages for their students. Pages like these allowed students to interact with images outside of the classroom or a slide library. Also, for those in Art History courses the pages enhanced and expanded upon the artwork contained in their textbooks.
Please take a look at these example from Boston College.
