Leah Dantinne’s Web Index Page

Welcome to my web index page! As a future art teacher, my site is primarily focused on art education, however, my research could be useful to anyone in any field. I have compiled my work from my Telecommunications and the Internet course for others to share and use as it is helpful.

General Instructional Activities

Web Link Bibliography – my Web link Bibliography Page has 20 different sites teachers or students can visit to find information on one of the most important movements in history, the Renaissance. This page can be helpful in finding information on Renaissance artists, doing research on the movement, or compiling a web start/web quest page

Web Quest – my web quest is an activity exploring roman civilization and the use of realistic historical fiction films. In the quest, students must work in groups and individually to judge whether the movie Gladiator is accurate

Art Web Quests – this is a page of great web quests for art teachers to present to students

Search Engines – this page is a critique of the many search engines available for online use. I selected my choices in the categories: Best Overall Search Engines, Best Art History Research Search Engines, Best Art Lesson Search Engines, and Best Pictures/Images Search Engine. This page can help art educators use the proper search engine for their task

Internet Course Module – students are often frustrated because they cannot enhance their projects because they do not know how to find images. This is the first part of an Image Finding lesson that teaches students how to find images on the web

Web Drop-ins

Web Drop-in #1 – my first drop-in lesson is on Abstract Expressionism. It is a quick activity for high school students to complete as an introduction to this important but confusing movement

Web Drop-in #2 – the second drop-in lesson is about French Impressionism. As one of the most important and famous movements, art students can use this quick activity to discover more in-depth information about one of the French Impressionist artists
