 * When introducing a new program, give the students time (if possible) to play with the controls / options. Even if it's only 5 minutes, they might discover something you didn't know.
 * If the students are to create a work using images from other sources, limit their choices by searching for them and putting the images in a central location. Thumb drives are good, a web site is better. This will cut out a lot of the time students take scouring the resources availible to them to find that one picture that is "just right."
 * If there's nothing that says you are legally allowed use an image, //assume you can't//.
 * Plan in advance how students can hand in their work digitally. You can run over to each computer with a flash drive, but this can be time consuming. Some programs allow work to be emailed. For others, you can create a single account that students can use to upload their project. You may also benefit from using web services like Edmodo.com, Google Apps, or drop.io.
 * Join the Art Ed 2.0 Ning. So many ideas can be found there, and if you don't find what you want you can ask and actually get several good answers!
 * Visit [|Crayola's site for integrated art lessons]. Lots of ideas, some of which can be translated to digital media.
