The Trakoscan Castle website offers an engaging 360-degree virtual tour of one of Croatia's most picturesque castles. This interactive experience allows students to explore the castle's richly decorated interiors and historical rooms as if walking through them. Each area provides a detailed glimpse into Croatia's medieval history, art, and architecture. This resource can be a fantastic way for students to visually connect with European history, architecture, and cultural heritage without leaving the classroom. Teachers might use the tour as a springboard for lessons on medieval life, European feudal systems, or art history.

tag(s): architecture (72), europe (83), virtual field trips (117)

In the Classroom

Have students research and compare Trakoscan Castle with other European castles (e.g., Buckingham Palace and Prague Castle). Students can create Venn diagrams using Two and Three Circle Venn Diagrams, reviewed here or presentations to analyze differences in architectural style, historical significance, and cultural influence, extending their knowledge of European history and heritage. Students can research and present aspects of Croatian culture, from traditional clothing and cuisine to folklore, enriching the lesson with cultural understanding. Challenge students to design their own "mini castle" on paper or digitally using a resource such as Google Drawings, reviewed here incorporating key elements of these styles. This activity connects history with art and design and encourages creativity while reinforcing architectural concepts.

Blair Castle's website offers an interactive experience of one of Scotland's most historic castles, with sections on its 700-year legacy, architectural features, and scenic grounds. Teachers can explore Blair Castle's connections to Scottish history, from the Jacobite era to the Victorian period, and the Atholl family's unique heritage. The website also includes images, a virtual tour, and details on the castle's artifacts and gardens, making it an excellent resource for educators to bring history to life with visual aids.

tag(s): architecture (72), europe (83), scotland (8), virtual field trips (117)

In the Classroom

Students can sketch the castle's distinct architecture or specific rooms they find most interesting from the virtual tour. Pair this with a short description of how the architecture reflects Scotland's history or culture, helping students connect art and historical design elements. Using an online mapping tool such as Google My Maps, reviewed here, students can mark Blair Castle and other significant Scottish castles, noting historical events associated with each one. Have students choose an art piece or artifact they saw in the virtual tour and create their own version, along with a paragraph explaining how their piece reflects Scottish culture to explore symbolism. Make a scavenger hunt of items or locations to explore on the virtual field trip.

They can use an online resource such as Book Creator reviewed here to record their observations. Have students create a campaign to raise awareness about raptor conservation. Students can create a large map displaying various raptor habitats across the United States or the world using Google My Maps reviewed here.

Ova Prima Foundation website is a clever satirical resource, presenting itself as an organization dedicated to studying fictional "Ovaprimates," a species that supposedly reproduces by laying eggs. Teachers can use this site to introduce students to media literacy by highlighting how easy it can be to create a professional-looking website filled with fabricated information. This resource serves as an excellent tool for teaching critical thinking and the importance of verifying sources and not believing everything encountered online at face value. It encourages students to question credibility and recognize the need for research in today's digital world.

tag(s): evaluating sources (28), internet safety (112), literacy (120), media literacy (108), satire (6)

In the Classroom

Assign students to explore the Ova Prima Foundation website and identify claims made about the fictional species. Then, have them use reliable online resources to fact-check the information. Students can work in groups to create satirical websites about a fictional species or event. Present students with articles from both real scientific websites, such as National Geographic or Scientific American, and The Ova Prima Foundation. Ask them to compare and contrast the language, claims, and structure of the two types of content. Provide students with a "red flags" checklist for unreliable websites (examples: no clear author, outlandish claims, lack of sources). They will mark which "red flags" appear as they explore The Ova Prima Foundation site. Like this activity? Here's another one: Save the Northwest Tree Octopus, reviewed here

Create your custom activity using the tools to add a title for each category and four clues in each category. If desired, drag and drop categories to order them by difficulty level. When complete, click submit and share the game using the provided URL.

In the Classroom

Use Connections as an engaging tool for students to study and discuss connections between words. Create a custom game introducing new vocabulary for science and social studies units. For example, when teaching about US presidents, add categories with the presidents' last names, first names, wives' names, and birthplaces. In science, create categories for students to categorize animals by habitats or class of animal. Include your connections game as part of a choice board or playlist; learn more about creating choice boards by viewing the archive of OK2Ask: Engage & Inspire: Choice Boards for Differentiation, Part 1, reviewed here. Ask older students to create Custom Connections to include with multimedia presentations. Add the link to presentations made with Google Slides, reviewed here or as a link on an interactive image made with Genially, reviewed here.

In the Classroom

Consider presenting students with a series of headlines or social media posts. Ask them to identify which ones they think are true or false. Ask students to keep a weekly journal where they reflect on news articles, social media posts, or videos they encounter. Organize a class debate where students argue whether a given statement is a fact or an opinion.
