A test

So I'm trying to figure out if a blog or a whole new website would be easier to create for my classes at Westlake High. I want my students to have access to lesson plans, calendars, handouts, rubrics, demo videos and power point presentations without making it too much work for me to upkeep weekly.

How do I allow students access to documents? When I click on the "link" section in my "edit post" it wants me to connect to an url...not a document.

I was thinking a blog would be awesome because I can add quizzes for them to take as well as allow them to comment on each other's artwork and they could comment on the calendar so that if they were absent they can make up work very easily!

??? Suggestions? Input?

Fun Class

So this week I went to an open figure drawing session! It was three hours & only cost me ten bucks! It was a ton of fun. I got to meet new people (all artists) and I got to draw for ME. One of the artists there even wants to trade me for the piece I was working on. He's going to bring in some of his sketches and things for me to choose. I'm excited! I love doing art and it's just fun to have stuff from other people. I'm going to take a photo of the piece and post it later this evening. Anyway, I'm going back every week since Evan's gone. I'll get to add at least four more pieces to my portfolio which is always good. I really want to start thinking more seriously about going to grad school. I've just heard it's impossible to go to grad school AND keep a job since art classes are so time consuming. I'll have to ask around more. I eventually want to teach art at the college/university level and a Masters in art art is like a PHD in anything else, it's as high of a degree as you can get since they don't offer a PHD in studio art in America. Pretty cool! I'd also like to teach art classes during the summer for my job- kind of like what people do for private piano lessons but I'm not sure how to get it all started. Anyway- that's what I've been up to :)
