Teach with Google

Google Art Project On the Google Art Project website, you can visit famous museums from all around the world - Madrid, New York City, Berlin, London and elsewhere - and explore famous art pieces. The Google Art Project is easy  for children to explore, making it effective even in elementary school. You can select from the list of museums, and then choose whether you want to explore the museum itself, or start examining the work of art.  Navigating down the hallways and rooms of an art museum gets kids really excited.

Google Culture Institute is the collection of 42 online exhibits telling the stories behind major events the period 1905 - 2008 (The Holocaust, Apartheid, D-Day). The exhibits contain text, photo and video information.
