Welcome to
SU08 MET Teacher Workshop: Landscape
Explore the Met’s resources for educators during this two-week online interactive forum. Participants discuss landscapes from various collection areas on the Museum’s website and the Timeline of Art History. Through online discussion, exploration, small group projects, reflective blog entries, and hands-on self-paced art making, participants are encouraged to challenge and expand their definitions of landscape while incorporating Museum resources into their classroom curriculum.

Hello everyone--
We look forward to seeing you online today at 1:30pm EDT for our final Elluminate session! Be sure to log on a few minutes before 1:30pm to test your audio. During this session, we'll hear from Nate and Sue, our Workgroup Teamleaders, as they walk us through the PowerPoint classroom resources that they have assembled, based on all of your contributions!
Also, be sure to read the Lessons area for DAY 12. We request that you write a final, reflective blog entry about the workshop, and also complete a short post-workshop questionnaire in Survey Monkey.
Next week, we'll have an optional post-workshop discussion period until August 10, so feel free to stay with us if you'd like to add more ideas to the Forums and Museum Cafe, blogs, and wikis. All of the workshop content will be available for you to download well into the future, so we hope that you'll make use of the resources that have been created and assembled!
We'll be sure to post photos of our in-person workshop at the Met today, and we look forward to seeing those of you who are able to attend!
Again, it's been a pleasure working with all of you. Enjoy the rest of the summer, and stay in touch!
William and Herminia

Hello everyone!
We're nearing the end of our workshop--it's hard to believe how quickly the time goes!
Be sure to add your comments (audio, webcam, text) to the Modern Art Voicethread from yesterday's lesson, and you'll notice that there's a new Voicethread in today's lesson about our online workshop (thank you, Susan Bivona!). Please add your comments--we'd love to hear from you! If you are having technical problems with Voicethread, please post your questions in the "Technical Questions" area of Forums.
Also, we'd love to see your comments on the blog entries from the "World Views" teachers! They spent the morning yesterday creating landscapes in Central Park, and then writing their blog entries as "letters" as you did this past weekend. Check them out!
You may also want to add a comment or two to Jordis Rosberg's blog, who has been our "reporter" for the week. In her blog, you can see photos of what's been happening at the Museum!
For those of you who are able to attend tomorrow's in-person workshop at the Met, we will begin at 9:45am in the Carroll Classroom in the Uris Center for Education. Please arrive via the 81st St/Fifth Ave entrance (School Groups entrance) on the street level, just south of the main steps. When entering the Uris Center for Education, just ask a security guard or Information Desk for the Carroll Classroom--it's in the far south end of the Education Center. We'll also have staff waiting for you to greet you! During the workshop tomorrow we'll have some gallery-based conversations in the morning, followed by lunch and then our final Elluminate session with the rest of our workshop participants from 1:30-2:30pm EDT. We'll wrap up the day with a final group interview and reception.
Again, many thanks to Sue and Nate for assembling our final PowerPoint presentations! We'll be taking a look at them during tomorrow's Elluminate session.
Let's get started with DAY 11. If you have questions, please post them in the "Workshop Questions" area of Forums.

Hello "Global Perspectives" teachers!
Let's finish adding our comparative questions and activity ideas to the "Course Wiki". Remember that your comparative questions and activity ideas do not need to include all four works of art--You may want to just focus on two works of art. Feel free to type these items below the works of art in the course wiki, and if you need to add additional images or copy and paste images within the wiki, you're welcome to do so. Please post these items by 12noon EDT today, so that our Workgroup Teamleaders will have that information handy as they begin to prepare our final PowerPoints for the workshop.
There are other items in the Course Wiki area as well, contributed by our onsite "World Views" teachers. Feel free to add to them!
Read the Lessons area for today, Day 10, and visit our Voicethread about Modern Art. Add your comments and ideas to the Voicethread--you can use your microphone, webcam, or text to add comments.
Our onsite "World Views" teachers will be outside in Central Park today, creating their own landscapes, and they will be writing blog entries as you did this past weekend--in the form of a letter to a friend, describing their process. So, after 4pm EDT be looking for those blogs to appear, and please make comments to at least three of them by 12noon EDT tomorrow (Thursday). We'll be sharing your comments with the group during lunch on Thursday.
If you have questions, feel free to post them in the "Workshop Questions" area of Forums.
See you online!
William and Herminia
