Arts Opportunities on iTunes
June 28, 2009Maine Department of Education and iTunes
There are many resources including video clips, articles, and downloads to inspire and teach on a variety of topics at iTunes. There is an icon for the Maine Department of Education that includes an icon for Visual and Performing Arts.
Periodically, I add files and recently added one on “Creativity” that was created by my counter part in Wisconsin. He also sent me a file on “Arts Education and the 21st Century Skills”. Now that summer is here I hope you will take rainy days to catch up on reading and professional development opportunities. I hope you enjoy accessing these without leaving the comfort of your home.
Please click here to get to the iTunes page. This might lead you to a drop down window that says “External Protocol Request”. If so, click on “Launch Application” and you will get to a page that says Maine Department of Education. Scroll down and you will see an icon on the right for VPA.
By all means look at the other offerings on the MDOE iTunes page. I suggest one called “How-Tos… Not Why-Tos” and click on the icon called “What’s on Your MacBook?” Click there and you will find many podcasts on all kinds of topics. And of course, all of these resources are FREE.
HAPPY READING and please let us know (in a comment) of other podcasts, websites and other links to information that you find worthwhile to improve teaching and learning in arts education!
Thank you Argy, there are some wonderful pieces on the iTunes site from MDOE. If anyone is looking for arts advocacy this is a most valuable and interesting resource. Thanks a million!
Thanks Charlie! I hope to create more podcasts and I am always looking for ideas on which to share in this format.
