Art Project: Art History in HD by Google

Google has recently created a new Google service Art Project that allows navigation in virtual rooms (385 rooms, 486 artists) of 17 of the most important museums of the world (11 in 9 cities different countries) and also allows the display to high resolution of 1061 works and images of works 17 high-definition (you get to the gigapixels), for example, the "Birth of Venus" has been reproduced with photographic equipment capable of up to 7 billion pixels and thus allow a display of detail, otherwise undetectable to a direct vision. The graphics are excellent and very simple to use the service. You choose a museum of the 17 present, by browsing for its salt (as in Street View), choose a work and you zoom with the zoom. Navigation is facilitated by a panel that lets you move the mouse portion of the image of interest. Those who are not interested in browsing through the rooms of the museum is given the opportunity to select from a dropdown menu that interests the museum and one of the high-resolution images in it. Admission is free, without registration, but if you have a Google account has the ability to create your own photo album to store the image that interests or the larger portion of it that wants to keep.

To get an idea here is a portion of van Gogh's Starry Night :


This is a video from Youtube Channel Google Italy, which explains the project Art Google :

Voicethread: create and share online presentations with audio commentary

One of the most interesting online services for teaching is provided by Voicethread . This is an entirely web based service that requires no software installation and provides for the free registration. Voicethread is useful for at least three reasons: You can create multimedia presentations , sort of album / slideshow , which can be supplemented with audio commentary ; you share these embedded presentation where you want (website, blogs, forums, etc..) enables a collaborative approach study because anyone can leave his audio commentary.
Using Voicethread is very simple in what follows a procedure Wizard. Once registered you log on with a simple click to "create " from which you can perform various steps to make the presentation. The first step is nell'upload material to use. You can upload images of the various formats (JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG); documents (PPT, PPS, PDF, DOC, XLS); video (all the most common formats). Second step is to add a comment, an interesting feature that allows you to draw while talking on the image (or document or video). The comment can be audio only or you can even use your webcam and enter a short text. Once commented that we draw each of the images uploaded to go to the third step: share, you can send the link via email, directly share in a social network, get the code to embed the presentation in a blog, website, forum.
The feature that facilitates greater interaction and collaborative learning and the possibility of anyone (but you can ask restrictions) to leave a comment video, audio or text, it is thus to create a dialogue and debate on the topic proposed.
This is a highly innovative, simple to use, easily adaptable to educational uses (classes online, online collaborative learning, revision topics, etc...)

Here is a sample lesson created with Voicethread:

La Bandiera dei tre colori (1848)
Dovrebbe trattarsi di un canto del 1848 di Francesco Dall'Ongaro con musiche di Cordigliani (fonte  http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/La_bandiera_tricolore_(Ongaro)  non ho torvato molto su questa canzone, se la datazione è esatta si tratta di un canto della prima guerra di indipendenza che inneggia al tricolore, bandiera che ha la sua origine con le repubbliche giacobine di fine settecento, per esempio la Tepubblica Cispadana che la adotta nel 1797. Per un astoria del tricolore:

The beautiful Gigogin (Amalia Rodfrigues)
