20 Wonderful Online Museums and Sites for Virtual Field Trips to Use in Class. January 27, 2014 Yesterday when I was working on the list of iPad apps that teachers can use with their students to make virtual field trips, it dawned on me to compile another list of web based platforms for both online museums and virtual field sites that can be used with students in class.
After scouring the web for hours I finally landed on the selection below. Have a look and as always share with your students and colleagues. 1- National Portrait Gallery The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery tells the history of America through individuals who have shaped its culture. Through the visual arts, performing arts and new media, the Portrait Gallery portrays poets and presidents, visionaries and villains, actors and activists whose lives tell the American story. 2- Smithsonian Museums The Smithsonian Institution—the world’s largest museum and research complex—includes 19 museums and galleries and the National Zoological Park. 3- The Field Museum 5- The British Museum 6- Science Museum. Film | story - About. Many people relate to and learn about historical people, places, and events through film. And, even though many historians love to kvetch about the historical inaccuracies of films that portray the past, we simply cannot ignore the fact that the public interacts with and learns about history primarily through film.
What we can do instead is talk about the events of the past represented in film and use that dialogue as a place of learning. As life-long students of both film and history, we searched for an interactive resource that not only explores the relationship between film and history, but also starts a conversation and provides interaction; yet, nothing expansive or truly interactive exists. Therefore, a small group of passionate friends got together and created FilmStory. How can I use FilmStory? FilmStory invites you to have a sense of exploration and curiosity as you explore the relationship between history and film.
