Program Overview
Communicating With Your Partner Class
Besides exchanging art, there are important ways to share
ideas with your partner class.
Flipgrid
We encourage you and your students to keep in touch
with your partner class throughout the exchange period
by posting on our new Flipgrid platform.
Each ArtLink partnership (by program ID#) will have a
dedicated space to post simple videoclips of students
introducing themselves, creating art for one another,
receiving the art created for them, etc. over the 6-month
exchange.
Once your partnership is launched, we will send out
instructions on how to access and use this exciting
teacher-friendly platform.
ArtLink Videoconference -
IVC (Interactive Video Conference)
Classes who have registered for ArtLink with
Videoconferencing will meet their partners in a live session
(55-60 minutes) that is fully facilitated by the staff of Creative
Connections. Using the exchanged art as the basis for cultural
exploration and real-time dialogue, students will learn effective
communication skills and strategies.
The ArtLink IVC section (pages 53-54) includes a conference
overview as well as recommended preparation tasks.
