Let's take a Field Trip

    Every time your students open up a new tab in their Chrome browser, they get a blank slate with quite a bit of wasted space. What if you could share a collection of the world's greatest artwork every time they opened up a new tab? You can with Google's new Art Project Extension. Each time you open up a Chrome tab you and your students will see the artwork with the name of the artist and the museum that currently holds the piece. CLICK HERE to add the extension.

     After looking at some of the artwork that pops up on their browsers, your students might have an interest in art history. Let's extend their engagement by taking a virtual field trip to some of the greatest museums and galleries in the world using their Chromebooks. Students can visit the Google Cultural Institute by CLICKING HERE. Once they're on the site, they can explore art projects and historical artifacts by navigating through exhibitions and collections. Students can even pick and choose their favorite pieces to create their own galleries, which can then be shared with other students and parents.
     Watch the video below for a short description of how the Institute works.
