Before Friday, I had never heard of a virtual museum. Basically, it's just a powerpoint template to showcase a project. Tracey suggested it as an idea for the April 28th TRC Celebration as we brainstormed some of the ideas that had been floating through my mind. I checked it out Friday after school and was impressed! Very creative!
Right now, my mind is thinking on how to use it for the Celebration in April, but I know there could be more uses for it in the classroom. Aahhh, the possibilities.
Education Virtual Museums was my first stop. On the site are some neat templates and also step-by-step instructions to build your own museum (but who has the time at this stage in the game???)
Virtual Field Trips
You never know what you will stumble on when searching the web. One link takes you here. From here, you see something to take you there. From there, you find this. And that. So many exciting new things.
Here's another website for math projects.
Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
