While perusing the app store yesterday I came across a wonderful, free app from the Library of Congress. It is a multi-faceted app that provides not only a virtual tour, but resources and mini podcasts focused on the various areas of the Library.
I found it easy to navigate and the links open up within the app itself, which is great for moving seamlessly between the rooms.
Some applications I see for the classroom are in a Social Studies unit on anything from the early Americas to the history of our Nation. I also could see it being a fun competition between teams to find particular items or images or facts. Students could also be charged with doing more in depth research on a particular item of their choice featured in the Library.
Have a great time in Alaska, Richard!
