Welcome art teachers

Welcome art teachers of Oldham County Schools!  The purpose of this blog is to help us better foster creativity, confidence, problem solving skills, and appreciation of art in our students.

As we experiment with the blogging process, I suggest a preliminary exercise to familiarize ourselves with the blogging process.  The topic of this conversation exercise is the creation of an environment of safety and trust in our classrooms.  This topic, one of our goals for our district art programs, will allow us to get conversation started while familiarizing ourselves with the process of posting and commenting to other posts on this blog.

Once you have gained access to this blog, please do the following:

1. Create a New Post on this blog, elaborating upon a strategy you use in your classroom to promote an environment of safety and trust.
2. After reading some of the posts, "comment" on at least one.

In the future, I suggest that we create New Posts when starting a new topic of discussion, whereas we should create Comments when we are responding to a previously published post.  Does this seem agreeable to everyone?
