the Art Institute of Chicago, my kind of town

hey kiddos, ie fellow grad students/gonna-be-teachers: there are lesson plans available on the art institute's website. check it out. check it all out so we can chit-chat in class about it.

here's the link for the lesson plans...
http://www.artic.edu/aic/education/trc/lessonplans.html

arts integration: AIC/CPS: murals
http://www.artic.edu/aic/education/mural_project/

question just out of curiosity: there is so much information out there available at our fingertips, literally... so how do you go about navigating it? how do you keep from getting overwhelmed by it?

it's overwhelming my eyeballs. they burn. ...and i have so many browser windows open i have no idea what to do. any advice welcomed.
