AMAZING! You can brows art galleries, REAL ONES like the MoMA and the Tate, just like you browse street views in google maps!

Hi everyone! This site is so amazing! I got the link from the Free Technology for teachers blog, and I'm totally blown away with how Google has used its technology. They have taken their 'street view' browsing from Google Maps and applied it to major museums all over the world! I can't wait to get this into the classroom, and am trying to figure out how to incorporate it into next week's lesson for my third and fourth grade art classes. While an actual museum visit is an irreplaceable learning experience, field trips require so much planning and preparation and time, and students who can't get their permission slips in for whatever reason are excluded from the learning for that project or section. Besides, Pittsburgh Public students can exactly visit New York or Madrid on a field trip! The site even lets you make your own art collections as you browse, which would be a great way to assess student's comprehension of different styles of artwork. We could even create a digital scavenger hunt! Amazing!

This website has extensive art lessons for every grade level. I have found it very useful.

For anybody interested in integrating the arts into their classroom, this is a great resource!

MORE AMAZING ART LINKS FOR EDUCATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse the unprofessional capitalization but I'm really super excited about these.

"A categorized list of sites useful for enhancing curriculum and professional growth."

Off Kathy Schrock's Blog homepage is the story of a unique art/technology project she completed over the last year. And just when we were discussing over the discussion board abut using Google Reader to manage art portfolios and on-line art shows, I thought this was a wonderful tie in. The link I am book-marking here is Schrock's educational guide which is linked off her blog - although I found her actual blog entertaining, I thought this link would be more helpful and beneficial to the class at large… there are wonderful links and ideas off this page for any number of educational ideas and inspirations!

A news site that could be used at the elementary school level.

I feel that this site would be helpful when covering current events in an elementary or middle school classroom. The news articles are relevant, but easier to understand than news from a site such as CNN.com or BBCnews.com. The articles are divided into various topics to make navigation of the site simple. If the class was also using Diigo, students could bookmark their pages for other students to read as well.

This is one of Dr. Ashburn's favorite sites that she's shared with us, I felt like it should be shared within this class as well. There is a site for parents, teachers, principals, librarians, etc. Lots of articles, blogs, etc.
