Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

The Getty
– “Currently, there are over 100,000 images from the J. Paul Getty Museum and
the Getty Research Institute available through the Open Content Program,
including more than 72,000 from the Research Institute's Foto Arte Minore
archive, which features photographs of the art and architecture of Italy over
30 years by German photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1913–1988). Other
images include paintings, drawings, manuscripts, photographs, antiquities,
sculpture, decorative arts, artists' sketchbooks, watercolors, rare prints from
the 16th through the 18th century, and 19th-century architectural drawings of
cultural landmarks. We are adding more images as high-quality digital files
become available.” (L:G; SA:A)
