Mt. Everest Assignment 4 Due April 26 by 8 p.m.
How could you incorporate this into your class? There are so many places to learn to rock climb this would be the final challenge.
These would be incredible virtual field trips for elementary students in the 3rd-5th grade who have just studied the early colonists. There is so much history in the city of Boston that the virtual freedom trail tour could probably work not only in an elementary classroom, but middle or high school too. - Jen Renz
ReplyDeleteWe typically take our 8th grade students on a field trip to the Boston Freedom Trail. This year the other 8th grade team is doing this tour. We do the walking tour with a tour guide dressed in costume. Because the groups of students are large, the students at times find it difficult to hear the tour guide. Also, we are often rushed from one location to the next without being able to look closely at the exhibit that is being shown. After the field trip, students could use this virtual tour as a refresher. In addition, I liked the other Freedom Trail video because it included additional sites that are not covered during the walking tour. This tour can be incorporated to enrich our knowledge of the Freedom Trail. The Plimouth Plantation videos would be great for elementary school students and as a refresher for middle school and high school students who haven't visited the site for years. It was interesting to find out the the Adams Mansion even existed! When we do a unit on the presidents, it would be interesting to incorporate the virtual tour of the home and summertime White House to John and John Quincy Adams. - J. Pietnik
ReplyDeleteMy 8th grade team is taking a field trip to Boston this year. These videos would be fantastic for either pre-field trip information to understand more of what the students will see; or for a post field trip take away with additional information that will reiterate what students saw and heard. -Kerri Bean
ReplyDeleteNo longer living in Massachusetts, this would be a great way for schools who are too far to travel to Boston or Plymouth to see and explore these important pieces of history. Personally, they don't pertain to my French curriculum, but I could certainly see a social studies teacher pairing the videos with units on these topics to allow the kids to learn more without the expense and difficulty of traveling there from out of state.
