IMacs are also used in the Art Education program at Old Dominion University. Stephen Carpenters students use Storyspace to construct interactive hypertextual curriculum documents containing text, video clips, and sound. These units represent information researched on the Internet. Adobe Photoshop is used to create, edit, and modify images. IMovie and Adobe Go-live are also used.
Students learn to create online storage accounts and how to upload and download images.
Students are also required to create online portfolios. I hope all of you received the winter edition of the VAEA Newsletter and are finding it a little easier to 'Stay Connected' with our professional organization.

I passed the results on to Helen Saunders, our tour chairperson, and even though the Ireland Tour was the most popular of the three, we both agreed that there was not enough interest to move forward with a group plan for this year. Hopefully, we can generate more interest in the Ireland Tour this year and plan something for the spring or summer of 2002 .
