Ask Judi!This week I have an exciting announcement from The Smithsonian Institution:
The Smithsonian Institution announces the launch of SmithsonianEducation.org, an exciting new Web site for educators, families, and students. Featuring content from 16 Smithsonian museums, the National Zoo, and the Smithsonian's world-class research centers, SmithsonianEducation.org brings the Smithsonian's vast educational resources to millions of classrooms and homes across the nation. SmithsonianEducation.org features include: * Separate areas designed for educators, families, and students * Nearly 1,000 educational resources, searchable by grade, subject, and museum * Interactive activities that engage students through rich graphics and animation * Lessons, activities, and teaching tools aligned with national education standards. SmithsonianEducation.org features three sections: 1. EDUCATORS: Free resources for the classroom! Content is aligned with national education standards, developed with input from teachers, and based on Smithsonian scholarship. Educators can quickly download lesson plans or search by subject or grade level for nearly 1,000 publications, Web sites, field trips, and other teaching tools. The site also lists professional development opportunities, special events for teachers, and a step-by-step guide to planning field trips to the Smithsonian and other museums. 2. FAMILIES: Museums are great family spaces! Families can learn how to make the most of their museum
visits by planning ahead and following tips and activities provided by
the Smithsonian's education experts. The family site helps parents find
child-friendly exhibitions at the Smithsonian and its Affiliates across
the nation. The site also features reading lists, interactive learning
labs, and other online activities that help parents to encourage learning. Bright, friendly, and easy-to-navigate, the site features sound, video, collection photos, and maps to engage today's media-oriented students. Through the site's interactive features such as the award-winning Apollo 11, students can take a virtual journey back in time to explore historical events. Secrets of the Smithsonian engages students with its behind-the-scenes stories of the Smithsonian Institution's rich history-from the curse of the Hope Diamond to the location of Smithson's bones. And Smithsonian Kids: Collecting highlights Smithsonian collections and inspires students to try their own hands at collecting. Students can also browse through dozens of Smithsonian Web sites, ranging from art and design, to science and nature, to history and faraway places. Enjoy! Each week, I'll use this area to answer your questions, post announcements, and provide interesting input! So please email me at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!
