ceri (aka the morrigan) & cjwainwr say,
We have filled the Toolkit with items we consider may be valuable guides for lesson sequence planning - including some resources for children to use; and for our continuing learning in the several Arts Education fields. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of offers of 'teacher resources', from educational publishers, web-advertisers, blog-sites, school staff discussion rooms and from enthusiastic teachers disclaiming 'This is fantastic, awesome, try it out' and proclaiming (often) 'it works!' - though with sparse (if any) evidence. To provide quality resources we've filtered what we've placed inside the Toolkit through the following lenses: * Is it a professional/authoritative item? * Does it link well to the generating, realising and responding processes? * If a web-link, is it technically reliable? easy to navigate? * Will it guide and inform children ?
The Toolkit contains 'generic' items (those across all the National Arts Education curriculum areas) as well as items in each Arts Education area. A sub-group of resources in an area represent a special interest one or both of us have. Don't forget that each of the blogposts have linked resources and information which you can access too. So each of the subject posts have even more tools and information.

And don't forget that all the great art galleries, museums and collections have their own websites, so it is often worth simply Googling for the Louvre, Tate Gallery, Uffizi, MoMA or any other major landmark! Click on the links here to have a look. Most of these have resources, information, learning and lesson information and virtual tours which you can integrate into many learning areas.
