      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.

    This site about English grammar can be used practically with any grade level who can read, I suspect. I typically used the site as a teacher resource for the discussion of abstract and concrete nouns with my high school Art students. We used the abstract nouns for project ideas; sometimes I would choose and other times I would let them vote.

    The concepts found in the abstract noun table are all great for classroom discussion, especially high school students. However, many ages could benefit from defining and discussing these nouns.

    Kodak has a plethora of advice and images for students to access. I used this site with a yearbook class and it was very helpful in guiding them towards more successful photography and photo selection. It has several categories that include subject matter, lighting, camera tips, etc.
  • mrspdvs on 22 Jan 11
     
    Although there are several tabs, I usually use the Tips & Projects Exchange that is already selected. Review the lists either in the left hand navigation or the center of the page with thumbnails. You can begin by clicking any topic that interests you!

    A basic reference site, this was second in line to Google for my former classroom information retrieval activities. Since we had to define and discuss big ideas just prior to art-making, we almost always used dictionary.com along with an old Merriam-Webster paperback (donated by the library) to make comparisons. Advantages are that a list of synonyms and antonyms, sample sentences accompany definitions. There was a drop-down search option for the thesaurus are available here, but I presume it became its own separate identity...

      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.
  • mrspdvs on 22 Jan 11
     
    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.

      While this is a great site for educational math games. It is one of my least favorite sites because of its lack of focus on website design. The pages are too busy, there are too many adds, and it is easy to get lost.

    There are some good aspects to this website as well as some good information, however, it is not that easy to navigate for children and a little cluttered. Also, on the side bars there are links to facebook and twitter, which if this site is used in a classroom children do not need to have access to such websites.

    Although this website has a lot of good information, and is easy to read and navigate, the information is not always factual or credible. Not a good website to depend on because of this.

    These activities range from online applets, interactivities, and lesson plans. Everything on this website is free! You can use these through a whole class discussion or give the students the website and have them explore themselves using an applet. The activities can be easily searched through grade level or through the standards.

    I have used this many times in my classroom and made the website available to my students for review for a test. I like the fact that many things on this website are free, but also the all the answers are available to the free worksheets. I have not explored the free trial and what that provides, but the free information covers many topics and levels across mathematics.

    This website is an ask and answer website for math questions. Sometimes the topic you need is not available, so it makes it difficult to find an answer to your question sometimes. Or if your topic is available it is not the aspect that you were looking for.

    This website has information available for all subject areas and includes worksheets and puzzles. The problem I have with this website is that you must pay in order to create your own worksheets from the bank of questions. There are "free" worksheets available, but sometimes the answers are not available, or some of the problems may be blocked out.
