All of the web sites I found that linked to Aminah's World were related to art education. But I would use this web 2.0 tool in my special education classroom. I teach a primary Multiple Intensive Needs Class (MINC) with students who have severe cognitive disabilities. I modify the kindergarten curriculum for my students. Within the kindergarten curriculum, there are a lot of art references. One of the language arts units is Art All Around. The students discuss different places they can see art during their day-to-day routine. They learn about mixing colors, patterns, and how to apply these skills when painting.
ISTE Technology Standards: When students use Aminah's World, they will meet standard 1 (creativity and innovation) by expressing their creativity through online artwork.
Overall, Aminah's World will help reinforce the art skills learned, and allow my students to explore art in a new way.
Please comment to share your ideas for Aminah's World, or other art integration web sites and tools.
