Learning with 3D Objects: Thinking Routines and Strategies for Dialogue and Historical Connections | Cultivating Learning

The objects in the Smithsonian's vast collection are powerful resources for close-looking and exploring historic events in context. Join Maureen O'Connor, Education Specialist in the Office of the Under Secretary for Education, in a guided close-looking activity and discussion using the Smithsonian's 3D viewing platform, Voyager. Discover how incorporating 3D scans and prints of Smithsonian objects paired with Smithsonian thinking routine resources can guide nuanced exploration and historic connections.
