Tour season during a pandemic – try a virtual tour? - Irish National Teachers' Organisation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The school tour is something both pupils and teachers often look forward to. A chance to leave the classroom behind and venture out into the world to see the historic sites described in our books, understand the environmental challenges facing our planet and connect with animals and nature.

With schools closed and strict rules in place to control the current pandemic, now may be a good time to check out some of the wonderful virtual tours available online for free. Why not organise a virtual outing with your pupils?

Any more ideas? Send them to editor@into.ie and we will keep this list updated.

Virtual tours are a simple, yet effective means to provide rich learning experiences for students and pupils. Explore the National Gallery of Ireland, The Louvre, The Cliffs of Moher (without getting wet!), step into the Sistine Chapel and gaze at Michelangelo's legendary frescos in the Vatican and even look out for Bród (the president's dog) in Áras an Uachtaráin. Students/pupils can move through exhibits at their own pace. Viewers can control the video by scrolling to look in different directions and from different angles which can prove to be highly effective for visual learners. Continue reading the PDST article on virtual tours here or begin your virtual tour experience with the tours below highlighted by the Scoilnet team.

Double Digit Addition with Regrouping - 1st and 2nd Grade

# data[].attributes.body
Adding with regrouping (video) | Khan Academy

Instead of ones we say units but this is a very good video.  

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
- [Voiceover] So I have two numbers here. The top number I have one, two, three 10's, and I have one, two, three, four, five ones. Three 10's five ones or 35. The second number here I have two 10's, one, two, and I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven one's. Two tens and seven ones. Now what I want to do is I want to add all of these numbers. Well, I want to add these two numbers together. I want to add 35 + 27, or another way of thinking about it, I want to add, I want to add all of these blocks together, I want to add all of these blocks together. So, let's start, let's start in the ones place right over here. So I have five one's here. I have seven ones here. So if I add five ones to seven ones how many ones am I going to get? I'm gonna get 12 ones. I'm gonna get one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and 12. Now you might notice a problem here. 'Cause if I take 5 + 7 I can't write the number 12 in just the ones place. I just need to have one digit. I can't have two digits there. So what can we do? Well, what we could do is take 10 of these ones and group them into a 10 and put them into the 10's place. What am I talking about? Well what we could do is, we could take one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and 10. So we could take these 10 right over here and group them together into one of these bars. So let's do that. So let's group them together into one of these bars, and then stick that bar in the 10's place. So all I'm doing here... All I am doing here is, give me one second. Let's see, alright, whenever I... So all I'm doing is I'm taking these 10 right here, and I'm regrouping them into the 10's place. Sometimes this is called carrying. So instead of writing 10 one's I'm gonna write it as one 10. So instead of writing it as ten ones, I'm going to write it as one 10. So what does that do for us? Well now I only have two ones in the ones place. I only have two ones in the ones place, but now I have one more 10 in the 10's place, and I have one more 10 in the 10's place. Sometimes people call this carrying because you see 5 + 7 is 12. You write the two in the ones place and you write the one in the 10's place. Twelve is one, two. Let me make it very clear. 5 + 7 = 12, and all we did is we wrote the one here, we wrote that in the tens place. We wrote it up here so that's why it kind of looks like you are carrying it. You are putting it at a higher place, but you're just writing this in the 10's place. Up here was just an easy place to do it, but remember all we did, all we did there is we said "Look, we have five we have seven that would be 12." "We can't write a 12 in the ones place." "So, let's take 10 of those 12 and regroup them as a 10" and then we have the two left over here, but an easy way to think about it is 5 + 7 = 12, one, two. And now we can add the 10's place. We have one 10 plus three 10's plus two 10's. Well what's that going to be? Well that's going to be six 10's! 1 + 3 + 2 = 6. So let's do that. So we have, whoops wow that was... That's not what I wanted to do. Let me, that was kinda, alright. (laughs) We have one, we have two, we have three, and we have four, and we have... My computer is slowing down. Five, and we have six, six 10's. Six 10's and so what does that... What does that leave us with? One plus three plus two 10's is going to be six 10's. 35 + 27 = 62. 35 plus 27 is six 10's and two one's, 62.

I spend a lot of time researching resources which will suit my class. I find the likes of Twinkl okay for writing sheets etc but I have really had to search for more meaningful work for my class. I have come across some great websites and said I would share them here to save others some time!

IXL Website: I use this site a lot with my class. It is absolutely excellent for working on skills for children with autism. It is divided by subject, class and skill, e,g, counting 1-3, 1-5, 1-10, 1-20. There's lots of excellent auditory games with visuals to match. Almost all the games have a voiceover explaining the games, along with clear visuals to make it easy to understand. They have lovely lessons on patterns too which again, are so visual and simple to follow. Many children with ASD may find it difficult to sit down and put pen to paper outside of their structured work environment. These lessons are interactive, and they are achieving the same skill as they would be on paper. Win win!

This site is really for speech and language therapists but very often teachers take on this role in school and so I find myself searching for resources regularly on this website which have lovely worksheets and links to other S&l websites.

This is a blog post I didn't think I would ever be writing!

I am putting together some ideas of virtual tours that you may like to have a look at for your class.

If you find other good ideas, please send them on and I will add them in.
A positive to take from school closures is that we can literally go anywhere in the world for our school tour this year!

Titanic Belfast/ Cobh

They have put together an excellent tour with audio. You can pick and choose which sections you would like to focus on with your class. This is probably more suitable for the senior classes and is very easy to navigate. Click here to check it out yourself.

I really like that there are lots of fun activities and resources so you use it as a whole unit of learning before and after the virtual school tour. There is huge scope for extending the learning with this tour. There are even some fun recipes to try out.

You can also learn more about the Titanic through a virtual tour of the Titanic Experience Cobh. It isn't as easy to navigate but it does have some excellent visuals of what life was like aboard the Titanic.

Dublin Zoo

Dublin Zoo are having virtual tours every Monday at 10am.

They also have a section on their website of pre-loaded videos that you could use with your class as a tour.

Dublin Zoo Website also has many activities and live web cam links (can be slow to load) that could be used as part of a tour.

You can check them out in more detail here.

Alternatively, you could watch an episode of 'The Zoo' series on RTE Player and download the booklet that accompanies it from the Dublin Zoo Website.

If you want to be really adventurous and bring your kids to another continent, then this would be another fabulous virtual tour.

Click on the image below, if you want to have a look around the huge amount of live cams, videos, activities and games. The possibilities of this tour are endless, with some lovely Art suggestions and stories about the different animals.

This website has some great videos that children can watch to get a sense of what life was like long ago. It has a cool feature to see how Dublin changed over the years, by scrolling along the time line.

You can also compare it to present day, creating a nice visual for the children.

There are quizzes included to keep the children engaged in the various topics.

They even have a teacher tab, to show you how it links directly to the curriculum so it is easily one that could be used when we get back to classrooms!

Ellis Island

It is probably suitable to upper primary levels.

National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian)

Unfortunately, there are limited virtual exhibitions on the Irish National Museum of Natural History website so I have linked this one instead, the Smithsonian.

You can take a virtual tour of the different floors of the museum. You could set up a trail for your own class to find things along the way to engage them.

While there are some useful resources under the 'Education' tab, it does take a bit of searching through!

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Aquarium Tours

I have found 2 different websites that might be good for a virtual tour.

The first is Monterey Bay Aquarium, which has live web cams for the children to explore. It also has Ocean Explorer booklets and games.

The other website is Georgia Aquarium. It is similar in that it has live web cams of different sea creatures. It has a section for home learning where children can learn about other topics each Friday, complete activity sheets and enter Art competitions.

The National Art Gallery

Some classes in my school did this a couple of weeks ago. They looked through some rooms in the National Gallery and chose their favourite painting, which they wrote a little about.

The White House

For any children interested in exploring some of the White House, you can click here to explore the lavish rooms!

Galway Education Centre are also sharing ideas on how to plan an online tour for your students, if you want to register for a place.

Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the Classroom resources can be used by teachers to help engage parents in their child's physical literacy journey. Learning undertaken within physical education class can be consolidated and enhanced outside of school. This resource is arranged into 15 sections - one for each of the fundamental movement skills. Children are encouraged to practise what they have learned in the PE lesson at school by completing the corresponding activities at home. Each activity is accompanied by a video clip and contains a warm-up, an opportunity to practise the fundamental movement skill, a home challenge and a task to complete in the child's PE journal. This resource is available in both English and Irish
