# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Going into a self-quarantine can have many complex issues and complications beyond having enough food and supplies for two weeks. In terms of entertainment, it also probably means you're in for a lot of boredom, a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet.

But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you're confined to your home. According to Fast Company, Google Arts & Culture teamed up with over 500 museums and galleries around the world to bring anyone and everyone virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous museums around the world..

Now, you get "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch.

Google Arts & Culture's collection includes the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and literally hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed.

Take a look at just some of Google's top museums that are offering online tours and exhibits.

British Museum, London

This iconic museum located in the heart of London allows virtual visitors to tour the Great Court and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. You can also find hundreds of artifacts on the museum's virtual tour.

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Google's Street View feature lets visitors tour the Guggenheim's famous spiral staircase without ever leaving home. From there, you can discover incredible works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This famous American art museum features two online exhibits through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer.

Musée d'Orsay, Paris

You can virtually walk through this popular gallery that houses dozens of famous works from French artists who worked and lived between 1848 and 1914. Get a peek at artworks from Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, among others.

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul

One of Korea's popular museums can be accessed from anywhere around the world. Google's virtual tour takes you through six floors of Contemporary art from Korea and all over the globe.

Pergamon Museum, Berlin

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer - even if you can't physically be there. This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Explore the masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including works from Vermeer and Rembrandt. Google offers a Street View tour of this iconic museum, so you can feel as if you're actually wandering its halls.

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Anyone who is a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) by virtually visiting this museum - the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and over 750 personal letters.

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

European artworks from as far back as the 8th Century can be found in this California art museum. Take a Street View tour to discover a huge collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, manuscripts, and photographs.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence

This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de'Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world.

MASP, São Paulo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a non-profit and Brazil's first modern museum. Artworks placed on clear perspex frames make it seem like the artwork is hovering in midair. Take a virtual tour to experience the wondrous display for yourself.

National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City

Built in 1964, this museum is dedicated to the archaeology and history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage. There are 23 exhibit rooms filled with ancient artifacts, including some from the Mayan civilization.

Sadly, not all popular art museums and galleries could be included on Google Arts & Culture's collection, but some museums are taking it upon themselves to offer online visits. According to Fast Company, the Louvre also offers virtual tours on its website.

To see more of Google Arts & Culture's collection of museums, visit the collection's website. There are thousands of museum Street Views on Google as well. Google Arts & Culture also has an online experience for exploring famous historic and cultural heritage sites.

The best current statements regarding distance learning and copyright laws. Provided by School Library Journal.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A group of college, university, and public librarians released a statement outlining why they believe the extraordinary circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic meet qualifications for fair use within copyright law.

As librarians and their fellow educators attempt to navigate teaching remotely, many are concerned about copyright laws for books and other texts. A group of college, university, and public librarians released a statement Friday outlining why they believe the extraordinary circumstances meet qualifications that would extend fair use beyond its usual parameters. While the statement only specifically addresses the many colleges and universities that have gone to remote learning for the spring semester, the same issues face K-12 educators and their analysis of the copyright law and fair use standards would apply to their teaching as well.

"This Statement is meant to provide clarity for U.S. colleges and universities about how copyright law applies to the many facets of remote teaching and research in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. We write this as copyright specialists at colleges, universities, and other organizations supporting higher education in the U.S. and Canada who work every day with faculty, staff, and librarians to enable them to make ethical and legal choices about copyright issues in online teaching.

"The United States is in a time of crisis. As of this writing, more than 200 universities and colleges have moved to remote teaching. These moves aim to promote public health by slowing the spread of the disease, while maintaining at least some of the important functions higher education plays in teaching, learning, and research. We have heard concerns that copyright may pose impediments to a rapid shift to remote instruction, or conversely, that copyright is not relevant. While legal obligations do not automatically dissolve in the face of a public health crisis, U.S. copyright law is, thankfully, well equipped to provide the flexibility necessary for the vast majority of remote learning needed at this time."
Read: Tackling Copyright Concerns When Taking Storytime Online
It goes on to analyze each of the four factors required for "fair use" within the current situation and comes to the conclusion that materials should be available in this "time of crisis."

"It is evident that making materials available and accessible to students in this time of crisis will almost always be a fair use. As long as we are being thoughtful in our analysis and limiting our activities to the specific needs of our patrons during this time of crisis, copyright law supports our uses," the statement says. "The fair use doctrine accommodates the flexibility required by our shared public health crisis, enabling society to function and progress while protecting human life and safety.

"We also encourage campuses to begin contemplating the longer-term needs this situation presents. While fair use is absolutely appropriate to support the heightened demands presented by this emergency, if time periods extend further, campuses will need to investigate and adopt solutions tailored for the long-term."

They also admit that creators and copyright holders may disagree with or be worried about the ramificaxtions of this analysis and determination.

"Some creators and other copyright owners may find this analysis concerning," the statement says. "We offer this analysis from a place of deep respect for creators-and to provide a practical lens through which our colleagues working as instructors and in instructional support positions can keep copyright in mind despite the seismic changes they're implementing in support of public health.

"We encourage the use of already-licensed online content, openly licensed, and public domain alternatives, and working with content vendors to find mutually agreed-on ways to expand existing access to support social distancing for instruction and research. We commend vendors who have stepped up to provide free access to certain resources through the end of the current academic term."

The release provides a link to allow others to endorse the statement, as well as a link to Resources on Copyright & Emergency Remote Teaching & Research.

Kids can learn a lot from observing animals, from what they eat and how they raise their young-to more advanced concepts like habitats and adaptations. Unfortunately, getting access to live animals is a challenge. Enter webcams. We compiled a list of the best nature webcams that offer kids a window into the animal world... so check it out!

Seattle Aquarium Sea Otter Cam

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNwy2pMdsP4[/embedyt]

The Seattle Aquarium is home to four northern sea otters. The somersaults and log rolls are pretty amazing, but we won't stop watching until we see them hold hands.

Honey Bee Hive

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOgKDQp2BHE[/embedyt]

If you've ever wondered what goes on in a beehive, then check out this livestream. It uses an infrared camera to show the inner workings of a bee colony living inside a large hollow log.

So many classes are moving to distance learning and science may be one of the harder subjects to master. It's not easy to tackle biology and chemistry lab experiments from home! These websites will help supplement material in all middle and high school science subjects. Jump to your field of study:

Best Science Websites for Teaching Biology

You may be familiar with HHMI's free movies and posters, they also offer films that are available to stream from the site. Other options include 3-D interactives, virtual labs, and printable activities.

If you need a template for lab reports, ideas for your biology club, pacing guides or lessons for biology, Pre-AP Biology, or AP Biology, this is a good place to start.

Developed by a high school teacher, Biology Corner includes curated resources from around the web paired with extra practice and presentations and as well as ready-to-use investigations.

Sounds odd I know, but this robust site hosted by Stanford University utilizes sea urchins as an engaging entry point to life science concepts ranging from basic biology (introductory microscopy and predator-prey relationships) to university-level curriculum (gene function in embryos).

This site's evolution lab makes phylogeny and evolutionary history accessible to all students while scaffolding an understanding of the fossil record, the role of DNA in evolution, and an introduction to biogeography. Kids can also play the role of a molecular engineer by solving RNA folding puzzles.

Best Science Websites for Teaching Chemistry

Check out Ward's World, a new destination that offers middle schoolers and their teachers free classroom activities, how-to videos, tips, tricks, and resources that make science easier-and more fun! Find chemistry, biology, physics, and earth science.

Like most chemistry sites, virtual labs and lesson plans are freely available, but ChemCollective stands out with their scenario-based activities and forensics tie-ins with activities like the " Mixed Reception " Murder Mystery.

Want clear, standards-aligned videos? If so, Bozeman Science is a great resource for teaching AP Chemistry. You'll be able to flip your classroom and provide additional support to your students.

One of the best resources for Chemistry teachers nationwide, the AACT produces consistently high-quality resources including labs, demonstrations, and activities. The best part is that their materials are organized by grade and topic-including options for elementary school teachers, too.

Don't let the name fool you. Sure, this site is perfect for middle school learners, but if you teach introductory chemistry or physical science, the level of materials is perfect for grades 9-10, as well. Lesson plans are easy to find and some are even available in Spanish for English language learners!

Chemdemos are virtual interactives for more advanced chemistry students complete with particulate models and real-time data help you get through labs that you may not have sufficient materials to complete. They can also give your students extra practice at home before or after "wet" labs.

This site facilitates a microscopic understanding of our macroscopic world. You'll be blown away by resources like their Semiconductor and Chemical Bonding Module. All of the modules contain embedded assessments to keep your students on track and inform you of their progress.

Always free for everyone, this is a terrific resource for middle school and high school science teachers as well as parents. Each issue provides a new collection of articles on chemistry topics that students will find engaging and relatable. The back-issue online library offers interesting downloadable articles on all sorts of chemistry-related topics, while the Teacher's Guides help you direct your students as they learn from their reading.

Best Science Websites for Teaching Earth Science

The Dynamic Earth Interactive takes students through a visual feast through Earth's layers and plate tectonics. The lessons can be extended by incorporating the Rock Cycle and Volcanoes Interactives.

Along with oceans and coasts, weather and more, instructors can find lesson plans in this collection that contain NOAA data and real-time weather information.

Thoroughly covering all of earth science, including meteorology, oceanography, and astronomy, this site's investigations take students through a series of pages that incorporate reading, animations and real data to introduce or extend topics, including tricky ones like El Niño and Sunspots.

Best Science Websites for Teaching Environmental Science

If you're among those who calculates the ecological footprints as an activity in your AP Environmental Science class, you'll enjoy this site. The questions are relatable to daily life and the quiz can be retaken to analyze how lifestyle changes impact our footprint.

This site helps to build a firm foundation so you can fully explore pollution, ecology, and biodiversity. It boasts interactive maps, a Find a Lesson feature, and learning materials available in Spanish.

For science-based environmental resources, this one is hard to beat. Created by scientists, economists, and educators, the website offers over 1000 pages of curricular materials and textbook reviews on environmental topics.

This great resource provides accurate energy usage data and information on energy technological advances through games, kits, math extensions, and their free downloadable Energy Infobooks.

Best Science Websites for Teaching Physics

Complete with teacher-submitted and reviewed lessons, these activities help students explore topics including circuits, waves, and quantum mechanics.

With a curriculum corner, question bank, lab area, and a NGSS-devoted page, this is a valuable resource is among the best science websites for K-12-including distance learning!

Search through this great collection of hundreds of categorized ready-to-use handouts, labs, and lectures submitted by physics teachers. You'll find resources on the conservation of energy and momentum, electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, and more!

The content from this popular site is comedic, clear and includes helpful algebra and calculus reviews. That means you can focus on the science content without mathematical misunderstandings.

This resource is a one-stop-shop for teaching-textbook included! You'll find learning units, videos, interactive simulations, and even a comprehensive Facilitator's Guide!
