tag(s): artificial intelligence (148), presentations (18), social media (53), video (263)

In the Classroom

Students could create a short video summarizing a book they've read; this engages them by encouraging creative expression and storytelling skills. Use Padlet, reviewed here for students to create and share videos. Have students view each other's videos, then discuss the variety of perspectives and styles, deepening their understanding of storytelling. Assign students a historical figure to research, then have them create a short "video diary" as that person during a key event. Students can create short videos explaining a science topic, like the water cycle or photosynthesis. In small groups, students create short videos demonstrating how to solve a math problem or explain a concept, like fractions or basic geometry.

The Malbork Castle Museum website offers a captivating virtual tour of Malbork Castle, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. The site, primarily in Polish, can easily be switched to English using Google Translate, making it accessible for non-Polish speakers. Through this immersive 360-degree experience, teachers can guide students through the castle's expansive courtyards, historic chambers, and fortifications, highlighting the architectural marvels and historical significance of the Teutonic Knights' headquarters. This virtual tour provides an engaging way to explore medieval history and architecture, which is ideal for enriching history lessons with a virtual field trip.
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): architecture (68), europe (80), medieval (33), virtual field trips (100)

In the Classroom

After exploring the castle, have students research a specific architectural feature (ex.:vaulted ceilings or decorative elements). They can present findings on why these elements were important in medieval castle design and defense. Assign students to research the Teutonic Knights' history, focusing on their role in Europe and why they built Malbork Castle. Students could create a brief presentation or write a report, connecting their lessons with their virtual tour observations. Students can create a diorama or 3D model (digitally with a tool like Clipdrop, reviewed here) of Malbork Castle or specific sections of it, focusing on accurate representations of the architectural features observed in the tour.

tag(s): jefferson (19), landmarks (20), lincoln (65), photography (118), roosevelt (15), virtual field trips (100), washington (28)

In the Classroom

Add this site to your current resources for teaching about national landmarks or enhance learning by integrating the lessons into math, science, and visual arts as real-world models of your teaching topics. Include individual resources from this site, such as the 3D explorer on a Padlet, reviewed here to share with students. Take advantage of one of Padlet's "recipes" to automatically generate a video playlist, KWL chart, or choice board that encourages students to visit and learn about Mount Rushmore virtually. Extend student learning by asking them to show what they know using Canva Infographic Creator, reviewed here to create infographics, flyers, or travel brochures using information learned from their virtual visits.
 This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by exploring the artwork of eleven famous Hispanic artists, both past and present. Information on the page includes a short introduction to each of the artists, their style of art, and suggestions for student projects. Scroll down the page to find a link to download a free set of four Hispanic Heritage Month posters after signing up for a free newsletter.

tag(s): artists (83), central america (18), cross cultural understanding (167), hispanic (32), mexico (30), picasso (5), posters (42), south america (39)

In the Classroom

Although some of the artist summaries include links to purchase lessons, the information on this site provides an excellent starting point for learning about Hispanic artists and suggestions for student art projects. Use Figjam, reviewed here to create a collaborative presentation for students to explore the works of the artists mentioned on this site and others. Include links to videos and articles that provide biographical information on the artists and tell more of their stories. Extend learning by asking students to select an artist and create a work in their style. Share student projects throughout Hispanic Heritage Month to learn more about each artist and the different types of art represented in their works.

Thank you for these ideas! I am an elementary school teacher, and we are celebrating HHM this week. I love the idea of introducing Hispanic artist to students through their style of art. Karla, GA, Grades: 3 - 5
