Virtual Museums were first introduced at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National Educational Computer Conference (NECC) in 2005. The slideshows were developed and presented by educators from Keith Valley Middle School in Horsham, Pennsylvania. It is with appreciation to Valerie Fasy, Diane Heitzenrater, Stacy Rotchford, and Greg Telthorster that the virtual museum idea, samples, and instructions are available to other educators. They began using virtual museums as a replacement for the original art history report done in 6th grade Art 1 courses, and later realized the potential for the museums across the curriculum. Students at Keith Valley Middle School are successfully developing virtual museums from scratch, and are using these museums to further their knowledge of curricular objectives in academic subjects in addition to art.
Virtual Museum Templates:
Below are links to several sample virtual museum rooms I developed based on an example I was provided by the generous educators at Keith Valley Middle School. The first sample is a full template to use in the development of a virtual museum. Use and share it freely. The room samples, with the exception of "Class Slides," were all developed by Keith Valley personnel and I modified them for use in new museums. Note that the "rooms," as opposed to the template, do not include active links. Full Virtual Museum Templates
