One: Virtual Worlds Create a virtual space for a particular person from the past e.g. Cleopatra. Making sure accurate details are kept and there isnt misinformed information. Two: Popular SNT’s After having created either the person, create either a Myspace or Facebook page detailing all the historical information known about said person. (This is a great way for the kids to interact at home) Three: Video SNT’s. Another fun way to involve the classroom would be to record each individual student giving a presentation uploading it either onto Youtube or making a slideshow for a classroom blog. Four: Google earth. Studying Pompeii? Google earth can be a fantastic way to show students exactly what the site looks like without being there! Enabling them to grasp an understanding that written words couldn’t achieve.
