Art Daily Tweet (REUTERS/Stefan Wermuth) http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=44618&int_modo=1 High resolution images of famous art work will be available on you laptop! Google has partnered with museums like MoMa- NYC, Freer Gallery of Art- Washington D.C. , Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid - Spain, Museum Kampa, Prague - Czech Republic, National Gallery, London - UK, Palace of Versailles - France, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam - The Netherlands, The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg - Russia, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow - Russia, Tate Britain, London - UK * Uffizi Gallery, Florence - Italy and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam - The Netherlands. The site features over 1000 images, virtual gallery tours and something called Street View where "users can move around galleries virtually, selecting works of art that interest them and clicking to discover more or diving into the high resolution images, where available." Users can also use the Create and Artwork feature where they can save view of artwork they enjoy and build a collection of their own. I have been to MoMa, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam and the Freer Gallery of Art- Washington D.C s I would like to see how these collections are represented and how this new Google tool works.

The statistical software language R is open-source with free download for Windows PCs. It's a bit cumbersome to learn with the help manuals running to 4,000 pages of "stream of consciousness" thinking. However, it's very powerful, and will readily do things that (say) Excel cannot do. Scripts can be saved to Word documents for later re-use.

According to ACTFL, foreign language learners need as much as 240+ hours of input to reach an intermediate level of proficiency. I'm looking into ways to use Twitter together with other applications like Feedly to encourage students to become autonomous learners and get more input from authentic francophone listening and reading sources. I can help them navigate through the sea of information available by sending them my suggested feeds and then practice using the target language by discussing topics together. Feedly is used to create a personal list of RSS feeds to favorite online news, video, audio and learning sources and save, publish and/or share them with others via an RSS reader application or even Twitter.

The primary purpose of VoiceThread is to provide students with the ability to collaborate with fellow students on their websites or save to MP3 or DVD. The tool is used by students to upload multimedia material by microphone, webcam, text, phone, and audio-file upload.
