Get inspired

Wish you could take your students to more museums, explore our galaxy from your own classroom or just get them more interested in historical events? There are some fascinating websites that offer just that! The Google Art Project will let you peek inside museums and virtually visit live exhibitions all over the world. The 100,000 stars project is a chrome add-on and website that offers an interactive 3D map of our galaxy. Students will feel like they’re touring the skies themselves! “Bridging World History” is another project that uses video and audio content to teach world history, along with activities, lesson plans and glossaries. Learn about human migration, early belief systems, and more.

All of these great tools give your students a unique perspective and make teaching more engaging for everyone!
