Online Art Teachers (K-12) Facebook Group was formed on March 11, 2020 as a service project BY art teachers FOR art teachers during COVID19 social distancing. With 10,000+ members from more than 110 countries and over 250K posts, this world-wide collaboration of art educators is providing a much needed resource for teachers. Administrators of the group are Dr. Trina Harlow (Kansas), Sarah Cress-Ackermann(Illinois), Beth Dobberstein (Wisconsin), Holly Kincaid (Virginia), Kate Miller (Kansas), Bob Reeker (Nebraska), Randy Robart (Ohio), and Marie Taylor (Kansas).The group collaborates with the NAEA Public Policy & Arts Administration Special Interest Group. #OATK12 A Google Folder in which art teachers can share resources with each other was also created: https://tinyurl.com/onlineartteachersK12 Email Address: onlineartteachers@gmail.com Finally, OATK12 hopes that COVID19 exits as fast as it appeared and that you and your students, schools, families, and communities are all safe and healthy and that very soon we won't need this group for the purpose in which it was established. Stay safe. Stay well. Copyright Notice: In the first video made for this Facebook Group, Dr. Harlow addressed copyright. This video was shared all over social media and this is what initially brought teachers to this group and to know this group existed. In that initial video, Dr. Harlow asked three things: 1) To know if you share something here that it is your choice to do so and others will be using it. If you want to publish something you have written, it is up to you if you share it here. 2) To not share resources that are copyrighted. 3) And to not publish something you see in this group or Google folder as if you had written it. She mentioned the honor system during this difficult time. We want to add something to copyright notice: Please do not publish resources here that you have "purchased" through other organizations or businesses or resources that were shared with you through a business as those resources may be copyrighted. OATK12 assumes no responsibility for what is posted here by members, nor can we control what members post. We are, however, watching for items that may be copyrighted and doing our best to delete them. Please feel free to let us know if something that is copyrighted is posted here by messaging us. We also hope that during this world crisis and global pandemic, with life growing increasingly hard here in the United States, that we can all link arms and support and help each other get through the fast move we have all had to make to home-based learning for our students. There are many serious problems in the world right now, and in our country that need our effort and attention. Now is not the time for teachers to profit from their fellow teachers - many of whom do not have funds to purchase resources right now.
