Humanities And History Professors Take Note: Google Earth Rebuilds Rome…

November 12, 2008 By: J. Pisano Category: Education Chat 1 Comment →

Humanities and History Profs. and Teachers, if you’re teaching a segment on Rome, prepare to have one of the COOLEST editions to your arsenal of worn out slides, standard power point presentations, faded book pictures, and dusty chalkboard outlines… Google Earth now has completely rebuilt Rome in a navigable, downloadable, and freely available sketchup for the Google Earth client (You can run this without being connected to the Internet). 

At each historic site, there are pop-ups with loads of information about each building.  Quite frankly, any teacher to incorporate this into their classes will, not doubt, be at the very forefront of technology and course integration.  No, it’s not the end all, but it sure is an INCREDIBLE resource that NEVER was available anywhere before.  There is currently a curriculum Competition going on for educators, I encourage any qualified educators to jump on this opportunity.  Here is the Education Curriculum Competition link.

View this amazing resource as a video:

        Find it here on Google, and download Google Earth for Free.

C-MuSE -Custom Music Education Search Engine

October 16, 2008 By: J. Pisano Category: Music Education, Music Technology 2 Comments →

C-MuSE is a Custom Music Education Search Engine utilizing the Google search indexes and is another beta “lab” project by myself.  Currently I’m indexing every Music Education Blogger Site in this highly customized Google search engine in an attempt to cut through the “junk” when indexing sites that contain information that I want to report vs. information that I don’t want or find confusing.  This custom search is another way to return a better percentage of focused results about a particular subject when they are returned to the user after inputting the search query.

I can easily see this turning into a self-hosted site and it may in the future.  I plan to add about 150 useful music education related sites to this index in the near future.  As a related music technology project, I am going to have my college music undergraduates begin to compile a list of very useful, related, and current music education sites as candidates for inclusion with this list in the future.

I’ve also toyed with Rollyo a number of years ago and posted my thoughts about it on MusTech.net and you may find that articles in the archives if you’re interested…it’s another great custom search platform.
