This site and its contents were created by the following K-16 art educators in Wisconsin as part of a University of Wisconsin-System PK-16 Grant titled "Developing Electronic Portfolios for Pre-service and In-service Art Teachers," during the 2001-03 academic year.

This project is in alignment with PK-16 Principles and Actions, Wisconsin Educational Technical Plan for K-12, (Recommendation 34.5), Standard 9 of the Wisconsin Teacher Development and Licensure Standards, and Wisconsin DPI Standards PI 34 .

Project aims were to integrate technology into preservice and inservice art teacher preparation, assessment and professional development.
