Thanks all! I'm off to explain Pokemon Go and why it's attracting visitors to one of the museum galleries (it's 2:53 pm here). #ArtsEdChat

@RuralArtsWeekly yes! Such a great way to show kids value of research, just for starters (but you knew that already) ;)

@mzteachuh @jeffmpoulin we did a self-portrait class with state legislators last year - may have opened some eyes to the power of arts ed

@RuralArtsWeekly I tell art students there is no shortage of artists; there is a shortage of skilled, well trained arts admins. #ArtsEdChat

A5: 99 problems and money could solve about 78 of them? Funding is a major issue. #ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

@edubrain @bivey yes - how to communicate concepts to various audiences is a big one for business, politics etc. #ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

@edubrain @bivey I point to how arts education got me here professionally - able to come up with creative solutions to problems. #ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

@bivey giving them alternative ways to express their thoughts and feelings can be one of the major ways arts ed impacts them too #ArtsEdChat

A3: supporting @HiArtsAlliance helped get rural kids to the White House Turnaround Arts talent show - major success for them! #ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

A3: working in partnership with other organizations or supporting their programming can yield bigger results too - 1/2 #ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

A3: sometimes success is a chat with a parent whose child has benefited from a program we support and loved it #ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

@bivey unfortunately (like many other programs) budgets are super tight and while there is demand, lack of funds = no expansion @ArtsEdChat

[M.K. Carroll @mk_carroll]

@bivey depending on the what the school wants/what can be funded. More info here: https://t.co/TxeVmKCrGK

Q2: our Artists in the Schools residency program gives special consideration to rural locations - we take the art to them #ArtsEdChat
