I really enjoyed looking over this website. It is very simple in design and easy to navigate. It contains a wide range of different tools and tips to aid teachers. Everything from in-class project ideas to outdoor exercises, this website is extremely informational!
The one part I looked into was the virtual field trips, or VFT. Since I want to teach European History, this would be a fantastic tool to use! Obviously, being able to send my class to the Reichstag in Berlin is almost 100% unlikely, an interactive, virtual tour of it would be the next best thing! I was only able to read a brief description of it, but apparently these VFTs can be found everywhere. I think that would probably be one of my favorite teaching tools. I can see it now, "This is the Reichstag, Germany's Parliament building. You guys want to go see it?"
I started browsing via Google to locate one of these VFTs. I found a great website for teachers that is full of different trips to exhibits, museums and even the planets! Here is the link.
Thanks for the link. Now in my Delicious bookmarks. Looks like it will be very useful!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a virtual tour if I were in your European History class!
