12 Days of Techmas
Day 12
Google Arts and Culture
On the twelfth day of Techmas, Ms. D shared a treasure trove of resources from over 2000 museums! Art, Virtual Field Trips, 360° Videos, Games, and more!!!
We are finishing up the 12 Days of Techmas with an awesome tool from Google that many do not know exists or if you do, you may not have seen some of the awesome things that have been added lately.
This resource is available through the website and as an app.

Under the "Explore" tab and you can search Experiments, Art Exhibits, 360° videos, Historic Events, Historical Figures and so much more.
You can search by location, time, color, collections, etc.
There are resources here for so many subjects.
I love being able to search collections, these have been so helpful when building lessons and activities for research with classes. There are images, links to videos (ex: YouTube), and more.

I want to say a HUGE Thank You to everyone that has joined me for the 12 Days of Techmas! If you enjoyed it, please check out some of the posts on my Virtual PD page. I am thinking about doing some more "bite-sized" PD options similar to the 12 Days of Techmas in the Spring - kind of like a "Choose Your Own PD" menu. Let me know what you think, ideas of things you would like to see, or suggestions on ways to improve by completing the 12 Days of Techmas PD survey form. Your feedback helps me make PD sessions better and tailored to what you are wanting and needing.
