本篇藝術研究報告旨在探討藝術教師的藝術與科技專業發展。報告援用麥克魯漢 (McLuhan) 與馬克．普倫斯基 (Marc Prensky)理論概念，同時回顧與身分認同議題相關之藝術工作坊文獻。本研究以 Escaño、Zafra、Acaso、Agra與 Eça 等人進行案例研究為討論重點，嘗試提供一種全新的藝術教育方法，將網際網路與社群網路應用在藝術教師的藝術與科技專業發展工作上。AVATARS 化身國際展是由 UAM : PR-007「藝術教育數位資源」研究小組的安赫莉斯．索拉所策劃，於 2009 年六月舉辦，主題在探討網路身分的概念。AVATARS 是個人自畫像的集體巡迴展，最初是在教師藝術家網路平台E@ (http://www.arteweb.ning.com/) 集思廣益，由教師與藝術家共同協力合作，採取類比與數位兩種形式展出。來自 12 個拉丁美洲國家的120 位藝術家提供作品，促成這個虛擬常設展。而後評選委員會選出若干作品，在馬德里和其他城市進行平面輸出。Pedro Villarrubia 負責設計活動海報呈現所有參展者的作品，每個國家還可依據不同的展覽背景與資料，調整海報內容。巡迴展在世界各地大學與藝廊展出。展覽目的在舉辦工作坊與藝術教師會議，以便進一步發展線上合作計畫。

We have focused on case studies conducted by Escaño, Zafra, Acaso, Agra and Eça, among others.We provide a new methodology in the field of art education using Internet and social networks for the artistic and technological professional development of Art teachers.AVATARS, international exhibition, has been organized by Saura Angeles from research group UAM : PR-007 "Digital Resources for Arts Education". It opened in June 2009. It is about the concept of network identity. AVATARS is a collective and itinerant exhibition of self-portraits. It has been put together at the teacher-artists's network E@ (http://www.arteweb.ning.com/). Coordinated by teachers and artists, it comes in two formats: analog and digital. 120 participating artists from 12 Latin American countries sent their works to form part of a permanent virtual exhibition. The works chosen by the selection committee were printed on paper at Madrid and others cities. Pedro Villarrubia designed a poster showing all participants' works and customized it depending on the context and date of exhibition in each country. It continues its journey through different universities and galleries around the world. The exhibition is an excuse to have a workshop and a meeting of art teachers in order to start developing collaborative work online.
