Other Places To Publish Student Art and Writing:

This is a nice way to go beyond displaying student art work and writing on school walls, bulletin boards, and the school newspaper. The following sites are a great way to showcase your students' work.

The sites below focus on art and writing. Educators can encourage their students to publish for real audiences. Note that most of the sites have editors that select works to be published. So, students may experience rejection of their submissions. But, this can be used as a learning experience. Students will realize that their work is being compared with hundreds of other students, and they will learn that this is all part of the process of being accepted or rejected.
