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 is a wonderful website that consolidates and suggests a lot of useful sites that are available on the web.  One such suggestion is a post entitled "Teach Parents Tech".  This site allows you to send a "technology care package" to parents or friends.  It also includes suggestions such as the site "Math Goodies" where you will find math worksheets and links to other useful sites.  I highly suggest reading this blog often.
