Please check the online databases for information! You may be able to find the painting or literature online, or you may need additional resources. Please let me know if you need additional help! I can  help you do a search that will provide info on your artist/author/poet and help  you find  a (required) book resource.

Podcasting in Education is part of the Web 2.0 or the interactive web — The concept of Podcastng began with iPods and the ability to record quickly. What begins as essentially a tape recording can become a powerful learning tool. Using GarageBand in an Apple computer or Audacity in a PC as the sound editing program, students and teachers can create podcasts to share locally or on the Internet.

Here are some links for Teacher Resources:
