Virtual Museum Tours

I think Virtual Museum Tours are super NEAT! It is so exciting what you can now do with technology but these tours will make great supplemental material in any classroom. Having children visit areas or time periods that you are referring to in the virtual world allows them to relate to the lesson. These sites are great because they provide you with photographs, artifacts, specific individuals, recordings, and video clips.

Here are some Museum tours to suggest for Social Science Education:

You can check out Anne Frank's House and the movable bookcase
