The Community Discovered program is a multi-element education program that uses technology to bring art museums and other educational resources to K-12 classrooms in Nebraska and 10 other states. The program, led by Westside Community Schools, is stimulating cross-state partnerships with the goal of replicating project activities throughout the country. The program's main goal is to strengthen a nation-wide community of educators engaged in creating integrated art focuses curricula in all core subject areas. The Smithsonian Institution, the Getty Museum, the Joslyn Museum, the Sheldon Museum, and the Museum of Nebraska Art are making more than 750 art images available to schools through the Internet, along with curriculum and contextual information for use by educators and students. Museum educators are providing educational outreach programs that use technologies such as the internet, kiosks, and interactive multimedia.
