We can use the virtual museum visits to create connections betwen objects. For example:
I could take my students to the  Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon and they could analize and discuss this object:
a. Title – “Estatueta
de Criança”;
b. Author: PIGALLE, Jean-Baptiste (1714-1785).France.
c. Date: before 1779.
d. Marble
e. Inv. 249
f. Audioguide – 520.
Back to school students could try to find similar objects since this is the only sculpture of a child in the Lisbon's Museum Collection.
If you take the virtual museum visit of The Louvre (Richelieu wing) you will find other Pigalle's children sculptures so our students could relate similar objects and try to construct their history...

Further investigation will take our students to other museums where sculptures of children from that period were also displayed:
The Getty Center

The Getty Center’s presentation will include an entire room devoted to
Houdon’s realistic and engaging depictions of children. Busts of Houdon’s young subjects will be installed at a child-friendly height, allowing kids to encounter these portrait sculptures face to face.

As my school is in a small town with only a folk museum, the virtual museum visits are a great tool for us and our students. They open their doors easily, they help us travel and cover distances in a few minutes, they help us see things that some may never have the opportunity to see in reality. They are a great help when we want to prepare our filed trip and organize our activities and when we come back in the classroom and want to remember the things we saw. Overall, it's a great tool that all museums should offer.

# data[].attributes.body
My school is in a village and we don't have so much opportunities to visit museums as we would if we were in a city. So virtual museum is a great way for my students to see at least a bit of some exhibits they wouldn't be able to see otherwise. Also such tour would be a great way to introduce the museum to the students before actually going there and interest them in what it offers.

maybe if I could use these examples of visits to virtual museums with my students! Often, however, I invited children to see videos of museums to visit, before and after the visit to the museum. The opportunity I see for using these resources combined with a visit is the consolidation and deepening of some concepts related to some aspects to be visited: focusing attention. With this method I would like to use these resources to prolong the attention spans, to interest all children, especially those who have learning difficulties. I am aware of visits to some museums that are starting to use such strategies, for example the Balì museum visited last year

Kripta u Hramu Svetog Save.

2016-ta godina donela je Beogradu jedan zaista impozantan deo još impozantnije građevinske celine. Nisu nikakava moderna čudesa od mermera i stakla već su završeni radovi u Kripti u Hramu Svetog Save na Vračaru.

Reč je o impozantnoj i nadsve prelepo isprojektovanoj i oslikanoj kripti od koje zaista zastaje dah. Savremeno Dekorativno osvetljenje identične temperature svetla daje dodatni osećaj raskokšnosti kolorita. Zlatna boja koja dominira svodom, uz ostale primarne boje prosto biva presečena lukovima osvetljenim dekorativnom rasvetom te osećaj od koga zaista zastaje dah se stvara već sa silaskm na poslednje stepenike koji vode do kripte. Dodatni prijatan osećaj stvara i konstantna prijatna temperatura te je dominantan vizuelni deo dopunjen sveopštom relaksacijom organizma.

Slika zaista govori više od hiljadu reči, virtuelna tura možda još i više, ali sve to nije dovoljno da nadoknadi osećaj užitka jedne stvarne i prave šetnje kroz kriptu u hramu na Vračaru.

How could you use these examples of virtual museum visits with your students?

Examples like these can be used to stimulate the students' imagination and let them approach a new way to communicate knowledge. Museums are not anymore places of simple display, but places where one can truly experience, deepen, and investigate objects, themes and territories.

What opportunities do you see for using these resources in combination with an actual museum visit?

There are many opportunities because the combination is pretty much always a winning strategy. By combining traditional teaching/visiting with immersive experiences and interactive activities we make students feel PART of the knowledge building process. They simply won't forget what they felt and understood.

What challenges would you anticipate when using such resources?
The main challenge I see  is linked to the attention level required. We always need students to be aware of the context in which they are, as in a learing situation. At the same time, we should let them LIVE the museum and the knowledge it transfers. The only way to combine the two things without loosing touch with the purpose of the visit is to GUIDE the students through the activities, to always be able to "bring them back" to the context they belong to.

Are you aware of more virtual museum visits? There are participative museums (in which students and visitors can participate by creating digital contents themselves) and other specific instruments such as re-creation of specific artworks or interactive maps, which though do not embody a real virtual visit, but more an addition to a traditional one.

We could visit with my 3rd Grade students the Archeological museum of Theves, compare it to the Archeological museum of Heraklion, Crete, look for information about different historical periods.
In our town museum, for example, there is cheese grater exposed, which the students thought that it was very funny and interesting. In the virtual museum of Theves there is a 3d presentation of a litle statue of a man grating cheese. It would be very interesting to connect these two exhibits

How could you use virtual museum visits with your students?

What opportunities do you see for using these resources in combination with an actual museum visit?

Before a visit to an actual museum, a virtual tour can:

1. Stimulate students to look more attentively at the original objects in the physical museum.

2. Provide students with multimedia information (print, visual images through photographs, illustrations or video, and audio).

3. Provide students with a virtual history of the exhibition.

After the actual museum tour students can create their virtual tours with the artifacts that really had an impact on them.

What challenges would you anticipate when using such resources?

Some of these challenges that in my opinion are to be anticipated include:

1. Very good hardware and a broad band Internet connection.

2. Skills that many educators are not likely to have.

I would like to correlate the mathematics with art. So, I can use the digital artefact of "The Hidden Beauty of Mathematics" from Google Art&Culture.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mathematics is everywhere. It is in the objects we create, in the works of art we admire. Although we may not notice it, mathematics is also present in the nature that surrounds us, in its landscapes and species of plants and animals, including the human species. Our attraction to other humans and even our mobility depend on it. But how does this happen?

From the structure of buildings to the discovery of new planets, from trade to fashion and new technologies, mathematics has always served as an important tool in the advancement of science and technology, in fields as diverse as Engineering, Biology, Philosophy and Arts. And it is also present in nature, concealing- and revealing- its charms in various forms, intriguing researchers and inspiring poets. One of the ideas that best embodies mathematics in all its elegance is the concept of symmetry.

Inside the mosque there are several rooms with diverse symmetrical motifs.

The Stanford Dictionary of Philosophy reminds us that in Timaeus, the work of Greek philosopher Plato (429-347 BCE or Before the Common Era), for example, regular geometric forms take center stage in the doctrine of natural elements because of the proportions they contain and the beauty of their forms. The four elements - Fire, Water, Earth and Air - could be represented by regular geometric shapes (with polyhedrons of four, twenty, six and eight equal sides, respectively). The Universe could also be represented by a 12-sided polyhedron - or a symmetrical dodecahedron. When particles with these different forms are combined, they give rise to all the natural elements we know. Although the word or concept of "symmetry" did not exist in Greek vocabulary in the days of Plato, the concept was already developing. The Greek noun "summetria", which literally means "of the same size", was already being used to refer to "proportion".

In nature, this type of symmetry marks the growth rhythm in the development of several species - and is also perceptible to the naked eye, fitting into the rules that determine the conception of "beauty" in art. The greatest example of the materialization of the golden spiral in nature is perhaps the nautilus, a prehistoric mollusk that still has living 'relatives' in the Pacific Ocean.

The nautilus is a surviving species of the archaic subclass of nautoloids which appeared at the beginning of the Paleozoic - long before the dinosaurs and even before the appearance of the first terrestrial animals. The subclass of ammonoids included the extinct species of ammonites - still much appreciated by fossil aficionados - that also displayed the golden proportion in their shells.

The morphology of comb jellies is not easily explained, but they are beautiful to observe. Their translucent glow changes all the time. The images in the video were filmed at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, USA.

In this video of the American (NASA) and European (ESA) Space Agency, we see a kind of time-lapse of the pulsation of RS Puppis.

How can we use examples of virtual museum visits with our students?

Virtual Museum visits are very powerful. At the click of a button they transport us to places all over the world. Millions of works of art are accessible to us whenever we want. They enable us to explore, investigate and be amazed from the comfort of our home. The opportunities are almost unlimited. Although it is not as good as actually visiting the museum in person, it is a great substitute and motivation to actually one day, visit the museum in person.

What opportunities do you see for using these resources in combination with an actual museum visit?

These resources are valuable in the sense that they prepare the students for the actual visit. By exploring the museum beforehand, the students are definitely more informed and excited. They feel a sense of belonging once they enter the museum, as they obviously feel they are returning visitors. The hope is that they are motivated to visit and explore in depth the exhibitions they have seen in the virtual world.

What challenges would you anticipate when using such resources?

Unfortunately, not all classrooms are equipped with the resources to explore virtual exhibitions. The challenge is to make the virtual exhibition accessible and of course the challenge is for us to motivate the students to explore the virtual site in enough detail so they feel prepared and eager to visit.

How could you use these examples of virtual museum visits with your students?

Virtual museum visits are an excellent way to let museums come to our classrooms so that students can connect and interact with an exhibit at their own pace and according to a specific task their teacher designed. They can both be used as a pre-visit/ warm-up activity or as a post-visit activity.

It's also a very practical way of "travelling around the world" whenever a real trip is unfeasible.

As an English teacher, I guess the opportunities are almost unlimited. Either by taking the chance to actually visit a museum whose site is in English, or by visiting one that enables the students to put their English know-how to the test. Why not challenging the students to choose a particular object and translate the available information into English?

What opportunities do you see for using these resources in combination with an actual museum visit?

These resources could be used in such a way that they would complement each other.

As warming-up, students could take the virtual tour focusing on general information, to get them interested in the topic/ motivated.
http://www.museumaritimo.cm-ilhavo.pt/visitavirtualnaviosantoandre/index.html

In this example, students can get to know the many different parts the ship is divided into and can start exploring each one separately before actually visiting the real ship.

As follow-up, students could compare their previous expectations with the on-site tour they made. A debate could be held in class in which suggestions to improve both the virtual and the on-site tour would be uttered.

What challenges would you anticipate when using such resources?

Not every classroom is equipped with 21st century technology. So a teacher must previously inform students they should use their BOYD in class. It's very common for students to inform the teacher their batteries are down or their wireless isn't working, so a teacher must carefully plan and anticipate a way to solve these problems.

Are you aware of more virtual museum visits?

Although not exactly a museum, University of Coimbra has a virtual tour that's interesting for the students to get to know one of the oldest universities in the world.

If we could not go to the museums come the museums to us. This is fantastic!
An advantage is that students can visit them using the ICT's they love. We can retreat millions of years ago, meet people from other eras, travel ... without ever leaving the classroom. It seems to me a very interesting tool.

2.4 Activity on Padlet

How could you use these examples of virtual museum visits with your students?

I think that virtual tours offer the chance to ''travel'' and visit places otherwise someone couldn't have. I use virtual tours in my classes to show my pupils cities, monuments, museums. As a teacher of English in primary education, I've taken my pupils to several virtual tours to visit London, other towns of UK and famous sites. We have also visited Shakespeare's birthplace, The Globe theatre..(see the links below). I would definitely use these examples either in connection to the curriculum or independently to enrich my classes and prepare a lesson with cultural focus.These examples provide an excellent basis for developing activities.

What opportunities do you see for using these resources in combination with an actual museum visit?

These resources can be used for pre-visit activities in order to prepare students about what they are going to see during their visit. They can also serve for post-visit activities to reflect on their visit.

What challenges would you anticipate when using such resources?

Teachers should pay attention to how much they show their students during the pre-visit stage so as to keep their curiosity alive.

Design and share beautiful flyers just like this one! Spread the word with an online flyer. They're easy to make and impossible to mess up :) Try it now 2.4 Activity on Padlet I think that virtual tours offer the chance to ''travel'' and visit places otherwise someone couldn't have.

Virtual museums are very important here in "150 km north from Arctic circle". It is not possible to go always to museum because of long distance. Here you find my work

It is my habit to visit venereal museums before educational trips to see the spaces and the works. I often attach links to the electronic register so that each pupil can see on his own and then in the class we repeat the visit to open a discussion on what to investigate in a more analytical way.

Spread the word with an online flyer. They're easy to make and impossible to mess up :)

E.g. the introductory virtual tour to the Brera Art Gallery will offer the opportunity to start exploring the history of the Italian art from the end of the 13th century to the 20th and lay the basis for a webquest (each group a different period).

If the students have a tablet (given by the school or their own device) some apps could be downloaded such as: google arts and culture, ascape VR, VR all Art, memory museum VR ... and many more. The school WIFI must be powerful enough to allow all students to use their device.

Experiences with AR could be done as well and if 3D glasses are available the experience could really help get the best from the visit.

while experimenting with arts and culture tool in order to create my own virtual visit to my postcards from Bristol exhibition, I was thinking that an interesting aspect of learning in a museum is to engage our students in museum management and curation of an exhibition. To curate is to really take care of a group of objects which may seem to have much in common but this is not the case when standing in the middle of an empty room. Why are exhibits put there where we watch them in the end and how or what would our students had done differently and why?

What opportunities do you see for using these resources in combination with an actual museum visit? I think there are lot's of new opportunities when combining these resources.

What challenges would you anticipate when using such resources? I thing that teachers must be well prepared to use technology and ICT resources. In my opinion this is  the big challenge!

Are you aware of more virtual museum visits?
1. National Museum of Natural History;
2. Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum;
3. National Museum of Iraq;
4. Hintze Hall, NHM London;
5. The Louvre;
6. The British Museum;
7. Metropolitan Museum of Art;
8. The Museum of Natural Sciences;
9. The National Museum of Computing;
10 The VR Museum of Fine Art.

I believe that virtual museum examples are ideal. First of all it allows children who never visited a museum to actually experience it. Furthermore, if a visit to a museum was held and then one would.like to do a few follow up activites at school - revisiting the museum virtually will aid the childrem to remember all the details and engage more in the follow up activities. There are obviously some challenges, one of them could be lack or poor internet connectivity which discourages the student to engage in a whole virtual tour, also one cannot exaclty control which partnof the museum the children are seeing. Personally I've never been to a museum virtually however one time i did use a google 360 picture of a museum and therefore it allowed me to see inside.

if you don't have time to visit some museum, it is a good way to find variety of information about some topic. You can spend more time visiting virtual museum and you can go back on some interesting exibits, while when you go on site you have limited time.

I can imagine to use virtual museums for preparing, but even more intrestingly for follow ups of real-life museum visits.  I know an art museum which uses a similar tool to allow visitors to personalize their tours, create individual museum guides. Also, for students who are not able to attend classes due to various reasons (distant learning, virtual learning environments), virtual museum trips can become very useful tools.

in Ercolano the city where i live there is The MAV a virtual museum about Herculaneum and Vesuvio Volcano and its eruption on 79 d.C. it is very interesting and children are very amazing to visit it

A virtual museum visit is an excellent alternative when it can not be visited personally for some reason. This is a very good option for working with younger students.

In Padova there are lots of museums and the city is full of monuments and marvellous details, so I thought Padova as a big museum.
I try to explain my idea in my first video created with Spark Adobe

It's really amasing to watch virtual video of museum!! I think that is a great experience for our students.Mobile phones , technology  give the opportunity to students to absorb an abadunce of information with an interactive way!

Virtual museums visits can be used both before and after a real visit (or even instead if it is impossible to go to the museum itself).

Wandering online can help get a general idea of the museum and choose the part we want to visit. We can discuss the layout and the collection and then develop a kind of itinerary through the museum. We can also create quizzes, quests and surveys based on the virtual visit and then do them during the real visit (or a virtual one) – in groups. As an example, each student can choose an exhibit and either describe it or write directions to it, then Ss exchange their sheets and wander trying to find those exhibits. Sharing anticipations, impressions and thoughts will be interesting and useful. After a real visit, most of these activities can be used, too, but on a larger scale – as there is already more experience. A virtual tour gives us an opportunity to get more then we had time for during the real visit. Moreover, Ss can use the site when preparing after-visit tasks. And Ss who want to investigate more thoroughly can do it individually during their free time.

As for challenges, they may be the following: (1) technical problems that make it impossible to have a virtual visit in class as planned (but then it should be postponed or redesigned for home investigation); (2) possible decrease of interest if Ss see everything beforehand; (3) A teacher should mind timing and focus as virtual tour can distract and lead astray.

Virtual museums are useful didactical tools.
I use these resources to show art works, science objects in order to prepare the museum visit or to explain specific topics.
Students can watch spaces and they should observe most significant elements before visiting the museum. This opportunity will create more curiosity and it will help them to focus their attention during the visit. A nice challenge I would anticipate it could be explaining "Message in a jar" museum game ( https://padlet.com/teri_lid/zozcp396xb4n ) or starting to split the class in work groups following their preferences.

A virtual tour in a museum is always a useful tool in the preparation of a real visit. A virtual visit motivates students and increases the interest about the museum’s exhibits. During the virtual tour students enjoy exploring the museum’s collection and compare the exhibits using ICT tools.
