Title: Art Edutech
Description: This is a very comprehensive site for all art teachers with a huge range of resources as well as an extensive collection of thematic units based around art/technology. The theme of the site is artistic but has been approached very much from a technology curriculum perspective. There are excellent resources for all levels but in particular the years 0-8 are very well catered for, as most of the thematic units cut across all curricula.
