Sites for Art Teachers

A huge thanks to Julie Basting from Unit 5 Schools in Normal for sharing these sites that she uses in her classroom. Exploratory teachers often struggle with finding appropriate resources for their SMART board since SMART exchange is limited for their content. Interactive websites are often the key to using your board effectively and allowing your students an opportunity to learn while out of their seat. A few sites that Julie uses that work well with her students:
