Fresh Look Fridays -- Taj Mahal Interactive - (12-02-2010)

Author:  Vanessa Cassie


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!
Vanessa

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
