      Wolframalpha.com is an amazing resource for learners of all ages! Students can use it to learn about most any topic. More than a search engine, this is a knowledge engine that performs calculations much better than google!

5 Favorite and Least Favorite Sites - 12 views

I find it fascinating that many of your peers have swip/swapped the sites that you've chosen (i.e. some have said that ones you listed are good as bad). Just interesting!

      How does one promote creativity and put coloring sheets at the top of the navigation list??? Oxymoronic in the least...

    Crayola is like the McDonald's of art supplies. I cannot deny that there they don't make decent products and that there are actually acceptable projects lurking within the search engines. Visually and navigation-wise, this site is great. Why isn't it one of my favorites? Coloring sheets!!! I abhor coloring sheet advocates. While coloring sheets can be temporarily useful for training students to stay inside lines, they are definitely not beneficial for much else.

    This site is very well organized, and has lots of examples in many subjects. Uh-ho - you gotta sign up. It's worth it though. The lessons are obviously done by experts.

    This site helps enhance and develop learning skills in many content areas. BrainpopJr is for K-8 and the regular site (www.brainpop.com) is for students in grades 4-8. I enjoy this site because it allows students to go to specific subjects and learn about them in a fun and interactive way.

      Begin by clicking the first icon of the woman's portrait (Mona Lisa). Then you can select from either the left hand navigation, the middle section or you can type an artist or art movement into the site's search engine.

    An archive of images and information, the Artchive provides an abundance of traditional art history and images for student and teacher access. I have used this site in the past for information retrieval and image use, but always found myself comparing historical information with that of other sites. For the most part, it was helpful for reminding me of artists' names and periods that may have slipped my mind.

    Clearly, there are several icons to choose from. When looking for still images to analyze with students, I typically just stick to Mona Lisa.

      There are too many words!!! The Art Movements text is entirely too small and there are several sections that look like they were forced in. I usually end up at this site as a result of doing keyword searches...

    Artcyclopedia was one of the least student-friendly sites I have accessed for locating artist information. Although it has a wide range of artist names and listings, one must click several links before finding a substantial amount of information. The lists of associate links can be very lengthy and undesirable to scroll through. By far, this was the most deceptive resource I've located and the least immediately helpful.

      There are a few ways to access artists here. You can click "the artists" in the art21 on pbs toolbar, select the correct set of alphabets in the middle blue rectangle below that toolbar, or you can scroll down further and click the hyperlink in the highlighted area that says "86 featured artists."

      If you have any big ideas (abstract nouns) that you would like to know if the featured artists have explored, you can type them into the site's search engine (the first blue rectangle under art21 on pbs) and click "go."
  • To date, 86 featured artists in the series demonstrate the breadth of artistic practice in the United States today.
  • organized around a theme helps audiences analyze, compare and juxtapose the artists profiled.

    Featuring the work of contemporary artists, PBS Art 21 focuses on real-world concepts as they relate to artists and their work. The site features still images, videos, interview transcripts and detailed descriptions of the artwork included. The site has resources available for teachers and can be viewed independently by students as well as with teacher guidance. I prefer to use the series with high school students since the text and images can be quite complex and potentially disruptive. With the right group and selections, it could probably work for middle school.

    PBS offers a variety of resources for students and teachers. They can be found under the education tab in a drop-down menu. Of course, you can view the other options to see what more the site has to offer.
