Web Quest Wednesday Artist Biography

Who is your favorite artist? A singer? A painter? An actor, actressor director? It could be a writer or poet! You are going to write a short biography about your artist. You first need to think about a few things. Who is he or she?? Write down 4 or 5 adjectives to describe him/her? What examples from their life illustrated those qualities? What made/ makes him/her different to any other artist? Try a quick search on Google, Wikipedia, and other search engines to come up with as much information as you can. You will write at least 200 words about your artist and leave the post for your classmates to comment on. Make sure you also investigate whether there is a You Tube video of your artist which you can attach. Good luck.

Cuevana Movie Stream

http://www.cuevana.tv/#!/inicio This is a good site for streaming many movies to your home computer. Just make sure you have a good internet connection. Although I have tried it on a 4 mb/sec internet connection, it is excellent on 6 mb/sec. and above. Just download the initial software, and you're away. You can get a 720 pixel movie, but watch the internet speed! At night between 7 and 10, I drop it to 360. It is also a good, clean connection from computer to t.v.
