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!

For Special Ed issues, this looks like a good source. I'm going to use it to do my Inclusions homework this semester. I like it better than the textbook.

This article provides 10 different ideas on how to enhance book reports. Rather then have a student write a five page book report and wait for your feedback, students can get creative with the use of the internet. This article provides numerous websites that allow book reports to take a new form. I think it would be interesting to allow students the option of choosing between a few of them when it comes time to present a book. They even have voicethread on here as an idea for students to create slide shows that can be interactive and collaborative. I especially liked number seven, which suggests allowing students to create a timeline of events in the story they just read in an online timeline. Students can capture the story through photos, videos, audio and text in order to retell important events in chronological order. These ideas will make reading books and creating book reports more interesting for students and allow students to be creative.

Collection of 10 different primarily technology-driven approaches to book reports and reading logs.  I remember I had a teacher in high school who, while allowing the typical essay-format book report, encouraged creative projects that pushed the boundaries a bit, and students put together everything from dioramas to videos to magnetic dress-up dolls.  This site collects 10 specific resources and ideas for book reports and reading logs,  most of them involving technology.
