INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Studio Cyberspace, where creative adventures on the Internet begin. Choose from a selection of outcome-based activities designed to motivate students to explore art resources in cyberspace. Each activity is a guided adventure to carefully selected Web sites that will help students learn more about artists and art around the world. Please take note of our Glencoe Web site Disclaimer at the end of this page.

Studio Cyberspace activities are designed so that students can follow directions independently. Each activity includes a printable worksheet with clear instructions. A Teacher Page also accompanies each activity, providing you with learning objectives, teaching strategies, and classroom ideas.

Here is an overview of what you'll find in Studio Cyberspace.

TEACHER PAGE:

A Teacher Page for each activity is provided here in a separate section just for you. Read the guidelines for teachers for each activity before you assign the activity to students. These pages are also accessible to students, so they won't contain specific answers to questions posed in the worksheets. Each Teacher Page contains:

Explains the activity and describes what students will be doing.

Objectives:
Lists learning objectives to help you evaluate students' work.

Getting Started:
Provides you with ideas and suggestions on how to guide students through the activity and for motivating them as they complete their worksheets. Additional materials may also be presented for you to use as you introduce students to the activity.

Classroom Follow-Up:
Suggests teaching strategies and ideas for extending each Internet activity into the classroom. Additional follow-up activities may also be suggested.
