Excellent extra option for research resources, as well as for igniting an interest in pleasure reading.

One particularly powerful possibility is having students create a virtual museum, either collectively or individually. Students wishing to code may do so as it can use drag and drop for the non-coder, block based coding for the novice coder, and java for the advanced coder. As a cherry on top, students can explore their world, museum, etc... using a virtual reality headset.]]> 2017-09-06 05:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003499 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003500 2017-09-06 05:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003500 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003501 2017-09-06 05:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003501 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003502 2017-09-06 05:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003502 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003503 2017-09-06 05:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003503 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003504 2017-09-06 05:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003504 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/185003505 360Cities is a free catalogue of 360 Photos and Videos from around the world.

It is one way to incorporate coding into a project where you want students to create a utopia/distopia and establish a government or teach about the flow of a planet's resources. To take it a step further, students can first generate and re-name a map here, and then import it into another mapping program to mark up, or even beyond that, bring it into coSpaces to get a "virtual view".]]> 2017-09-11 23:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/186590294 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/186595807 The Newseum has a really robust site that contains a huge volume of maps, primary sources and more. ]]> 2017-09-11 23:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/186595807 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/200964102 @washpapers and @jqadams_MHS are two strong examples of well maintained and updated twitter feeds designed to seem like the historical figures themselves are tweeting.]]> 2017-10-26 18:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/200964102 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/201528712 2017-10-29 19:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/201528712 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/201529052 2017-10-29 19:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/201529052 tcorbinMB https://padlet.com/tcorbinmb/ej5jtr9ctc2s/wish/201529159 Great tool for adding hyperlinks to a photo.
