While traditional social media has its merits, it’s no secret that it can have adverse effects on mental health. And yet, for many art teachers, social media is one place to find connection and community. It can create a real dilemma: can you meaningfully connect with others via platforms ranging from mildly annoying to outright toxic?\u00a0Well, now art teachers don’t have to choose!<\/p>\n
The Art of Ed Community<\/a> is a dedicated professional online space where you can come together with other art teachers to discuss relevant topics, give and receive support, ask and answer questions, and share best practices. You’ll find engaging discussions, exclusive events, and a whole lot of fun. We’ve been working on this new offering for over a year and are so excited to share it with the world!<\/p>\n Joining the community is easy and free. Just click this link,<\/a> “Request to Join,” and sign up for your account.<\/p>\n As soon as we approve your request, you can jump into conversations with thousands of other art teachers from across the world.
