If you can't make the journey to Washington, D.C.'s American Museum of Natural History, then take your students to this website for an online tour of the panoramic dioramas that are among the museum's most impressive features. Short videos, audio clips, 360 panoramic views, and descriptions of geographic locations and species round out the virtual experience.

tag(s): species (16)

In the Classroom

If your students are studying a particular geographic location or animal species, send them to this multimedia site for some interactive research. Regions represented include the Upper Nile, Alaska's Denali National Forest, the Everglades, and the American plains.

Google Maps gives you live visuals of any location, ideal for planning a trip, picturing the relationship between places, and viewing physical characteristics of almost anywhere in the world. Type or paste in an address and click "search maps." If you click Satellite or hybrid versions of the map, you will see actual satellite images of the terrain. Zoom in and out, use the street view "orange man" to walk among the buildings and trees, or plan and share a route easily with Google Maps. Using your (free) Google membership allows you to save favorite places and more. Find businesses and other features near a specific map location: hotels, restaurants, schools, parks, and more. Google Maps has become more and more sophisticated, now offering many features previously only available in Google Earth, such as opening and/or saving placemark files. Unlike Google Earth, Google Maps does not require software installation and does not use as much bandwidth for constant reloading. You can even take a tour of places you mark in Google Maps. Google Maps is available as a free app for Android and iOS, too. The handy embed codes let you put any Google Map in a web page, blog, or wiki. Of course, you do not need a membership or any special skills to SEE, share, or navigate a map.

tag(s): DAT device agnostic tool (132), directions (9), maps (221)

In the Classroom

If you teach geography, this one's a must. It is also helpful for showing students WHERE a story or news event takes place. In lower grades, use it to show students the basics of their community. Teach map skills by showing students their own community. Zoom in on their street or on the school. This site and its more sophisticated cousin, Google Earth, are great on an interactive whiteboard. Set up a class Google account (or use student accounts if permitted). Have students create their own custom route plans to tour historic sites. Challenge math students to plan the most economical route to visit several vacation destinations, including gas mileage and gas prices. Have students create placemark files of the important places in the life of a famous person or the route traveled by a particular unit during the Civil War. Have student groups create placemarker files to show environmental sites, habitats, landforms, or anything you can place on a map. Embed projects in a class wiki using the handy embed code offered as a sharing option. Not comfortable with wikis? Check out TeachersFirst Wiki Walk-Through.

In the Classroom

Use this site as a learning center or station during a lesson on Lewis and Clark and their travels. Introduce the site on the interactive whiteboard before allowing students to explore the site in cooperative learning groups on classroom computers. Have cooperative learning groups create podcasts demonstrating their understanding of one of the concepts. Use a site such as PodOmatic (reviewed here).Students can summarize their entire journey, or focus on one specific aspect, such as the explorers interactions with Native Americans. American history teachers will definitely be able to incorporate this one into their classroom.

Though the ads can be a bit distracting, this would be a great site to help students review their United States geography. Introduce the site on the interactive whiteboard before allowing the class to answer the questions as a whole. To motivate students to participate, let student volunteers come up and select their answers on the interactive whiteboard. Teams can compete to see which can do it the quickest or most correct to add a competitive edge to the activity.

The National Geographic Kids article on Malaysia introduces students to the geography, culture, wildlife, and people of this Southeast Asian nation through kid-friendly text, colorful photographs, maps, and fast facts. Students learn about Malaysia's unique geography, including its two regions separated by the South China Sea, as well as its tropical rainforests, diverse wildlife, government, and traditions. The engaging format makes complex geographic and cultural concepts easy to understand while encouraging curiosity about the world. This resource is an excellent introduction to global studies, geography, and cultural awareness for elementary and middle school students.

Use this site as a resource for current events projects - assign students various weeks throughout the semester in which they are to be the class news reporter, keeping their peers up to date and informed. Have students research what's going on via this news site and present a small presentation at the beginning of class every day during their week. Students can either orally present, or for the technologically inclined, create a short video summarizing the same information. Have students create news briefs and share them using a tool such as SchoolTube.

This is a Library of Congress collection of photos taken for the World Transportation Commission in the 1890s. Teachers, students, or parents could use this online archive to illustrate both what foreign nations were like a hundred years ago, and also the subjects that Americans were interested in recording during their journeys. This is a nice example of the primary resources which the Library makes available on the web.

tag(s): cultures (290)

In the Classroom

Use the images on this site to create a visual discovery activity in your classroom, introducing the topic of evolving transportation. Select 3-5 images from this site, choosing the most powerful and moving images. Placing the images on individual slides, allow students 1-2 minutes to observe each image. During that time period, students should be taking notes based on what they observe, predict and infer about each image. The more powerful and detailed the image is, the more information students can take out. After the class has observed all the chosen images, have a class discussion based on the notes students took. This is a great way to introduce content in a way that gets students thinking, as well as avoiding the typical lecture format.

Have students rotate around the classroom every 30-45 seconds, jotting down what they observe and infer about each image until the entire class has completed the circuit. After the class is back in their seats, have a class discussion based on what they observed and what this says about Russia before the communist revolution. A great way to get students thinking about the content in a way that's more personal and lecture-less!

CT.gov is Connecticut's official state-government portal, organizing information by areas such as education, government, health, employment, public safety, transportation, and the environment. For educators, the strongest "ready to go" content appears within the Connecticut State Department of Education pages, where teachers can find standards, curriculum guides, lesson plans, instructional units, assessments, professional-learning materials, and links to primary-source and community resources. The mathematics section includes expert-reviewed K-12 units and lesson plans aligned with Connecticut Core Standards, while GoOpen Connecticut connects teachers with model curricula in mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, computer science, personal finance, digital citizenship, and Algebra I.

Groups can collect agency links, quotations, images, and reflections on Padlet, reviewed here, to create a virtual Connecticut government resource board. Students can close-read a state-agency page, annotate evidence about an agency's responsibilities, and prepare a short explanation of how its work affects Connecticut residents. Extend civics learning with a mock public hearing, agency role-play, community-needs debate, or collaborative plan proposing how state resources could address a local concern.

The Native American Studies section of Harvard Library's K-12 teacher toolkit curates open and freely available resources for teaching Native American history, cultures, and contemporary experiences. A featured resource is the Smithsonian's Native Knowledge 360'?, which provides educators and students with Native-centered perspectives that challenge incomplete or stereotypical accounts of Indigenous history. The broader toolkit also includes subject-area pages, curriculum resources, open educational-resource repositories, children's literature, media-search guidance, educational technology, and professional-development materials. The guide is designed as a starting point rather than a complete unit, so teachers should preview each external resource for grade level, cultural accuracy, accessibility, account requirements, and continued availability.
