A few days ago, I stumbled upon a Twitter entry from The Art Guy that had a link to ask him anything. I say “stumbled” because I don’t check my Twitter feed quite as often as I should, and it just happened to be in the stream of posts at the time I was there. But that’s probably too much information, so let’s just move on…
The link took me to an interesting site that allows users to ask The Art Guy anything. I was intrigued enough about the possibilities for my classroom, that I created my own account. You should be able to see a widget for this site now on the right side of this blog (I had a little trouble with my widget editor, so I’m hoping it is still there. If not, just click here).
The questions are private until he chooses to answer them, so even if inappropriate questions get asked by anonymous jerks, they don’t show up anywhere unless the user decides to take the bait and answer them anyway.
Eventually, I plan to include this on my class homepage and give an assignment to all our 8th graders to “ask me anything” about high school, graduation requirements, etc. Then, my answers can appear on our class page for both students and parents to read.
So….
Go ahead. Ask me anything. Who knows? I might just grant you an answer.
