Interview three art educators (teachers, professors, museum, art center,
art association administrators) and discuss the extent to which they have
contact with others in their field via technology (especially e-mail, listserv,
or chat) and what benefits they find from this contact.
Find/sample listserv resources in art during the run of this course and
summarize the kinds of information that you received. (If you are already
a member of an art education/art listserv, review the kinds of information
you have received over the past 3 or 4 months. Hint:
the Getty Artsed.net listserv is a extremely active one; subcribe
to this if this is a new option for you)
