This website I believe would be appropriate for middle school students, but not high school students due to the overly animated method of teaching. I think that this website would be a good way to get my students interested in the Museum of Modern Art, and great artists of the past and present. It's enjoyable, easy to navigate, and has a wide variety of options to explore. The website is narrirate by a small alien that gives the students instructions on how to view the art work. Each work of art has four options that the students can choose from: listen, look, words, about, and idea. The only down fall I've noticed is that is seems to be aimed toward younger students, so this website would only work if I were in at the very oldest a middle school classroom setting.

Comments: After looking trough this website i was kinda confused about how it was all put together. The animated graphics seem to fit with a toddler and younger child's understanding. Although the material and information that this website provides seems to be around the middle school level. The website took a lot of work into creating it because there is a lot of detail. This website also provides audio guidance to get through the stages of Art education that this website is trying to teach to you. This website is fun and easy to navigate and seems to help you figure out the types of information about art that you are looking fore. Another great aspect that this website has is that it does not consist of many advertisements at all. I consider this a legitimate Art education website because its made for the purpose of bringing a easier way to learn art to the students. -CG 2/10/10 When I opened this site I didn’t know what I should do. I don’t like sites where I must click on a link just to open up the site. I am always afraid to do that. Once I clicked on the middle of the first page it sent me to a link that was slow moving, but it explained how the site works great. I think it can be a good tool for younger students learning about modern arts. It is slower paced and some students might get bored and distracted. There would be little instructions needed from the teacher on the other hand. It is always nice when the students can learn how to use a site on their own. It did have some fun characters doing all of the explaining. That's one reason why I do like this site. It might be a little slower paced, but the fun little aliens would probably keep the students interested and they would have fun learning. –BB 2/15/10 URL:** **http://www.funbrain.com/teachers/grade_jr.html** I appreciate how this website gives difficulty levels to determine which games would be good for which students: easy, medium, and hard. There is a large selection of diverse games that each teach different lessons and are good for practicing and memorization. There are also high level games for high school students as well as junior high students. This website is represented as part of Pearson Education Inc. This website is not so much dedicated to the learning of math as it is the memorization of math. It also is a bland website, it doesn't present the menu in a way that would catch the attention of the students, but that would be a minor concern.
