Fellow Educators, I am the deputy director of eduction at the Taubman Museum of Art located in Roanoke, VA (see http://taubmanmuseum.org). I have designed, and we have recently had created, a Web-based Art Interactive Tool (WAIT) that allows users to interact with works in our permanent collection in a unique manner. Using a scaffolding interpretive model that I also designed (REED-LO), users, through WAIT, formulate an interpretation of a work of art in our collection. WAIT provides the user with guiding questions and allows users to record their thoughts online - in the end, they publish their overall interpretation of the work of art online. Teachers can create, for free, "classrooms" through WAIT that includes all of their students. They can then assign a specific work of art to their students. The students then access the work using a unique username and password. After they publish their interpretations, the teacher can approve each interpretation which then allows the students to access what their peers wrote about the work of art as well as the "expert" essay related to the work. In essence WAIT allows users to formulate a personal meaning of a work of art before reading what others have written about the work. WAIT can be found both through the Taubman Museum of Art's website, under the "Learn" section, or by going to www.waitarttool.com - it is free to use. I was hoping some of you would check out WAIT and discuss your thoughts about the tool through this forum. Be aware, however, there are some minor bugs that we are working through - but for the most part it is working fine.

"My Interactive Classroom produces interactive whiteboard (IWB) learning games and classroom materials that engage students and make learning fun. The learning resources presented on this site raise the level of interactivity obtained from your interactive whiteboard. An IWB should be interactive for all. Often commercial and net based interactive materials are too teacher orientated - they are about the teacher clicking and 'interacting' with the board, while the students just "watch the interaction". My Interactive Classroom resources are whole class activities. Interaction is designed to be between the students and the board or, even more importantly, the activities facilitate learning interaction between the students themselves. My Interactive Classroom provides free download and very affordable learning games and classroom resource materials. All have been developed by experienced classroom teachers for you to enjoy with your own class. Please feel free to contact us with your comments, ideas and testimonies."
