Building upon their training experiences, project teachers are continuing the process of planning the integration of arts resources into classroom activities. Teachers are linked to museum and performing arts agency personnel and to other educators by use of a project facilitated listserv, which facilitates ongoing communication between project participants and provides additional information for the formative evaluation process. Docents at the museums also access e-mail with the participating teachers and the project will eventually evolve into desktop video conferencing. The information exchange amongst participants within this listserv is indeed interesting and reflects a true collaboration. The use of this listserv is growing, and during the last four years of monitoring this communication process, the percentage of curriculum oriented messages (as opposed to technical or other content) has increased from 33% to 54% to 62% to most recently 70% in 1999. See figure below.
