Welcome back to the second Blog Round Up for the Year
This week brings some interesting combos-
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR +MUSIC VIDEO + HISTORY TEACHER + JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE?
Not the most common of combinations, but I was absolutely enthralled to view these amazing videos combining the effects of the original Music videos with Historical figures or events created by Amy Burvall a History teacher from the States who is behind the History for Music Lover's YouTube Channel
To read the Full Blog Post about Amy and the videos on iLearn Technology, Click HERE which also lists of the videos currently available (including King Tut, The Vikings, Henry VIII, Joan of Arc and the Spanish Inquisition)
Please see one of Amy's clips below- Never again will I think of Napoleon without also thinking of the Violent Femmes
What about PRICELESS WORKS OF ART + FAMOUS GALLERIES+ ANYTIME +FREE
Many of you would have already heard about the Google Art Project which allows you and your students to virtually "visit the World's most famous galleries and view hundreds of artworks at incredible zoom levels" but I believe it is worth sharing agin.
Even if you have seen these masterpieces in person, this is an amazing perspective, free of the crowds clambering to see the same artwork you have dreamed about since you were small and available anytime without a $2500 air fare
The video below is a great 'Insiders peek' into what was involved in getting this off the ground, imagine being one of the team sitting inside the Uffizi after hours filming Botticelli's work?
The applications for this site in the classroom are HUGE
Don't leave me stranded here in e-central alone, share your ideas, thoughts, comments and views- I look forward to it!
This looks really awesome and I will have to for shizz check this out for my classroom
