As I type this Fresh Look Fridays post, I'm sitting in our Sharp's Audio Booth at the Calgary City Teachers' Convention, waiting for the day to begin. It seems like this booth is becoming my second home during the busy convention season --this is week 2 of 8! Stop by our booth and say hi if you're at any of the Alberta Teachers' Association's conventions this season!
(thanks to my co-worker Val Fernandez for posing for this photo opp!)
And now on to today's "Fresh Look Friday" review. Today's website is the
Taj Mahal virtual tour -- a great place for kids to explore interior and exterior components of the Taj Mahal. Simply go to
www.taj-mahal.net, and click on "online virtual tour".This is another great interactive website that encourages both the use of a classroom's interactive whiteboard as well as inquiry-based learning.
Be sure to check out the panoramic view (located in the top right hand corner)!
This website specifically helps address the following curriculum in Alberta:
Grade 3 Social Studies -- General Outcome 3.2
Happy Friday!
