Today I went with a couple of colleagues to meet with a representative at IPS TV. We are in the planning stages of forming a partnership between IMA and IPS that would provide free access to IMA video content for classrooms throughout the Indianapolis Public School system. It is great for us because it gives us a chance to reach out to local schools, grow our audience for video and get some feedback about the content we are producing. We hope that this partnership will help IPS diversify art offerings on their system-wide network and give teachers new content to share with students.

IMA has been talking a lot recently about education and technology. We want to give teachers and students great resources. We already have a lot of things to share, but we haven’t really figured out the best way to get them to teachers. So we are talking about what to put on our website, what teachers might like to find there and how to spread the word about all the stuff IMA has to offer (like free video!). If you have ideas you should feel free to share them here!

As I type this blog I am finishing up the last of the March uploads of new content on our iTunes U site. You will find some new videos that include the amazing Julianne Swartz intro that Daniel blogged about last week.

I feel exhausted by this rainy Monday, so my post will be short today. I know you will be waiting for my triumphant and enthusiastic come back next Monday.
