Educator Comments:
Very good program customized to our students.

The videoconference offered by the Smithsonian ARt Museum was totally appropriate, enjoyable and memorable on all levels. The presenter, Phoebe Kline offered great expertise and gave our students a memory that will last a lifetime.

SAAM - the free programming has allowed for us to share video conferencing with an entire grade level (5 classes). The art pieces are engaging and well presented by their docents. We have connected with both grade 2 and 5.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum offers program for almost every content area. The staff is very flexible and works with teachers to design programs that are aligned to the needs of their class. Also, the Smithsonian American Art Museum did a professional development session for the teachers at Mohawk. They designed the session so that teachers of each discipline could see how videoconferencing could integrated into their area.

Smithsonian American Art related art to culture and history very well. Kept students interest.

Smithsonian American Art Museum- Love the interactive story.
