ExpoMuseum
http://www.expomuseum.com/
While some may think that world's fairs may no longer be important events
for cities around the world, the ExpoMuseum website may prove those persons
completely wrong. The site pays tribute to the past, present, and future of
these immensely popular expositions, and also includes a number of fun
features, such as a discussion area and a special section dedicated to the
architecture of these places. From the homepage, visitors can also learn
about the upcoming world's fairs, such as Shanghai's Expo 2010. The
historical material here is the real highlight, as visitors can peruse a
timeline of these fairs, and move to various other sites that provide
substantive explorations of each fair through primary documents and first-
hand recollections. Also, the Architecture section of the site provides
images of such well-known buildings as the Space Needle (built for the 1962
World's Fair) and the Hungarian Pavilion at the 2000 World's Fair in
Hanover. [KMG]
Association of Hispanic Arts
http://www.latinoarts.org/
Based in New York, the Association of Hispanic Arts (AHA) was founded in
1975 as a not-for-profit organization "dedicated to the advancement of
Latino arts, artists and arts organizations as an integral part of the
cultural life of the nation." With generous funding from a variety of
organizations, including the Rockefeller Foundation and the National
Endowment for the Arts, AHA continues to fulfill this admirable mission.
First-time visitors will want to start by looking through the Latino Events
On-line (LEO) calendar, which serves as a clearing-house of information
about upcoming cultural events in the Latino community, such as exhibitions
and readings. Equally valuable is the archive of the issues of
organization's publication, _AHA! Hispanic Arts News_. The site is rounded
out by an area that allows users to peruse various Latino-themed videos,
musical recordings, and books. [KMG]
Henry O. Tanner [Macromedia Flash Player]
http://americanart.si.edu/collections/exhibits/tanner/index.html
Henry Ossawa Tanner, 1859-1937, was a deeply religious, mystical painter,
who, as an African-American, found it difficult to gain acceptance for his
artwork in the United States, and lived most of his life in France. The
Smithsonian American Art Museum presents this comprehensive online
exhibition on Tanner's life and work, utilizing both paintings and archival
materials from its collections. The Flash exhibit is divided into three
sections. First, there is Biography, essentially an illustrated timeline,
including photographs showing Tanner in his studio at 51 boulevard Saint-
Jacques, Paris, ca. 1900, and Tanner's wife, Jesse Macauley Olssen, at the
time of their marriage in 1899. Second, Work in Context, where users can
first read a bit about Tanner's education and contemporaries, then view
examples of Tanner's work, and try a self-test, attempting to pick out the
Tanner paintings from groups of four paintings on particular themes, e.g.
Nocturnes, Portraits, Shepherds. Finally there is a Gallery of all 57
Tanners held by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. [DS]

Radio Memories [QuickTime]
http://radiomemories.libsyn.com/
The "Golden Age of Radio" that arguably lasted until the early 1950s may be
hard to imagine today in an era of swirling iPod playlists and other genre-
bending devices and technologies, but during this time the radio reigned
supreme. People tuned in every week to hear the exploits of Flash Gordon,
Sam Spade, and Amos n' Andy. Thanks to the Radio Memories website, many of
these memories can be relived, or just experienced for the first time.
Started in May 2005, the site contains a host of compelling programs,
including episodes from the Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon and a
number of original episodes of the fabled Radio Detective Story Hour. If
those types of programs fail to pique the interest of the casual visitor,
the site also contains archived shows that explore the world of radio soap
operas from the 1940s and the musical worlds of such stars as Tommy Dorsey
and Harry James. [KMG]

Hi! It's Friday, May 20, 2005 and time for a Virtual Field Trip at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
Adler Planetarium: Astronomy Connections - Earth In Motion
http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/education/teachers/plans/interactives/seasons.shtml
http://tinyurl.com/bssgl
The Adler Planetarium has designed this multi-media animated presentation to help kids understand seasons and why they are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres of Earth.
When you get to the site, wait for the program to load. Then, your host, Max, will invite you to help him take a trip around the world -- but only under certain seasonal conditions in any given hemisphere. Through an interactive game, kids get to position the Earth in proximity to the sun to send Max where he wants to go. It's a simple and fun adventure that teaches the science behind the seasons in a cyber trip around the world. The whole family will enjoy this one. :)

Galaxy Evolution Explorer
http://www.galex.caltech.edu/
From the web site:
“The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) is an orbiting space telescope that will observe galaxies in ultraviolet light across 10 billion years of cosmic history. Such observations will tell scientists how galaxies, the basic structures of our Universe, evolve and change. Additionally, GALEX will probe the causes of star formation during a period when most of the stars and elements we see today had their origins.”

Los Adaes Site Explorer
http://www.crt.state.la.us/siteexplorer
Los Adaes Site Explorer tells the story of an 18th century Spanish presidio and mission that played an important role in the balance of French, Spanish, and Caddo Indian power in North America. The settlement marked the eastern frontier of the Spanish Province of Texas, and it served as the provincial capital for more than 40 years. The present-day archaeological site is a National Historic Landmark and a State Historic Site that is open to the public. The online exhibit provides an opportunity for the public to learn about life at the site, as revealed through history and archaeology. The website presents interactive maps, artifact photographs, and illustrations, as well as summary text and supplementary historical documents. Its innovative layered design allows users to determine the amount and complexity of information received. (added 6/3/05, reviewed 6/3/05)
