Sketch Swap is another interesting website. You make a sketch and then submit it and you get a sketch back which was made by someone else. As you can see from the sketch I received from above, it is possible to get something very nice back. However, you have no control over what you receive which makes it not a good tool to use in the classroom. When using technology in the classroom it is important to protect the children and control things to ensure they do not get exposed to something harmful at school. Thus, because the teacher can non control what their students will view on this web site it is not recommended to use it.

However, I noticed that it was very exciting to wait and see what I was going to receive. Thus, ideas from this web site are valuable. Possibly, you could arrange an art exchange program with another school or another classroom. In this case, teachers would be involved on both sides, the delivery and the receiving end, which would ensure it would be safe, educational and fun!
