Clicking on individual works of art allows users to zoom in or launch the work in full-screen mode." "The Web site provides access to a variety of Art Collector sets created by museum personnel and other educators."
Education Report Card: This site provides reports that assess the educational system of each state in several categories such as academic achievement, academic achievement of low income and minority students, return on investment, rigor of standards, and postsecondary and workforce readiness.
