ArtsEdNet: The Getty's Arts Education Web Site

Rating: 5 stars
Classroom Use: Not used in classroom

Comment: I spent an hour browsing the site. I looked at some exhibits (Devices of Wonder,
in particular), some of the Lesson Plans, and a brief look at ArtEdNet Talk
(threaded discussion). The quality of the content is amazing! Great use of
animation, video, graphics. Very easy to use, even for first timers. I think
this is an excellent resource for teaching and learning. The interactivity
promotes active learning, and it was fun!
Technical Remarks: The only problem I encountered was with Real Player. Although I did have Real
Player installed I was prompted to download the latest version (Real One Gold),
which still didn't play the video. (RP does work on my system, just not with the
Getty content.)
