Virtual Museum Distance Learning | Google Slides Template
This product is a template to create your own virtual museum. Due to virtual and distance learning, it is difficult to take our students on field trips. Additionally, most real museum's virtual trips are not what we want exactly. Now you can bring the museum directly to your students, AND it will have exactly what YOU want them to see!Use the five rooms provided to link various artifacts that students can explore. I personally plan to use this for a social studies unit on Native American tribes.
