Hi Mark,

You may have gotten an automatic invitation to join a wiki I have set up to work on developing the video conferencing project. As I said, I’m experimenting with this tool and, as this is a collaborative project, it seemed that it might be the right tool to help us work through this as a team. If you haven’t received the invitation, the address is http://ndvcprojectplan.wetpaint.com/

If I set it up right you should have full writing privileges. Tell me what you think, both about the tool and the project outline I posted. A third person I want to include in our discussions is ************. She will be co-teaching the video conferencing projects.

I’m still looking at and thinking about the details of your absolutely beautiful proposal. I think the format of the project as I’ve visualized it work with the objectives of your curriculum. I see the Essential Questions as prompts for the collaborative documents.

As for the Museum collection, we can only count on the Bloch building and first floor galleries of the Nelson-Atkins building. This leaves us with; Mod. and Contemp., African, Photography, featured exhibitions, Ancient, and Europe 14th century through WWI. If the survey results are to guide us, meaning rural teachers are interested in broadening horizons, Mod./Contemp. and African are probably our choices. Missouri High School Art GLE’s certainly suggest Mod./Contemp. Social Studies Standard 6, Depth of Knowledge standards all can be supported by the Pop through Post Mod galleries. What do you know, that happens to coincide with your list of artists/themes!

Okay, that beautiful PDF proposal you sent me - I have to know how that was formatted. Please tell me that was a template and you didn’t create it from scratch. I intend to steal that for a different proposal I’m working on.

Dave,

I think this is a great way to facilitate the project, especially in these early stages of concept development. I'll respond in order:

The elements of the museum collection that you mention are great. The idea of working with meaning in art-making really does indicate a bias toward Modern and contemporary collections. I do like, however, that we can maybe look at ways of connecting to earlier and non-Western works also, so I'm glad the first floor remains viable.

The GLE's are important for us to work with as they will become more and more vital to our curricular connections in the District. (How wonderful that it all seems to fit together so seamlessly!)

As for the format of the original document: it was easy, it was created in Word, and I can send you a copy of the file if you want to use it as a template.
