Lesson Plans from Google Apps

There are only two lesson plans in my content area of Fine Arts.
The first lesson plan is A Place in Time with Google Tools- The Impact of Photography designed for grades 10-12. In this lesson plan, the teacher must first create a Google Earth tour of a few selected photographs that have influenced the US or World opinion. The students will then view the teacher's earth tour and select photographs from American photographers. They will then watch a PBS film "American Photography a Century of Images" and view the online film guide in Google Docs. Students then create their own website and Google Earth tour based on the findings of the photos they selected from the original tour the teacher created. The students must properly site the information and teachers can provide feedback and critiques by using the comment feature in Google Docs. This lesson plan covers the NETS for Students standards 1. Creativity and Innovation and 3. Research and Information Fluency.

The second lesson plan is Great Moments in Art and is designed for students grades 6-8. Students are to use Google Calender to compose a calender of important art events or artist birthdays in history. They use museum links to find this information. Upon entering the information along with location into the calender, the student will also create a Google Map where students can click on the location and see a photo of the location. Students may do this lesson in groups or alone. The NETS-S Standards are 2. Communication and Collaboration and 3. Research and Information Fluency.
