A virtual trip through time – the “Museum Time Machine” (EN-CUR-126)

The learning scenario offers an investigation of how the historical period affects fashion, music, language and society in general. Students are told that they will focus on a period in history in the last 100 years and will study its effects on fashion, music and language. The artefacts gathered in form of images, videos, audio will be placed in a virtual museum exhibit and each group member will be required to act as a guide to visitors.

This learning scenario has been developed during the English version of the “Europeana in your classroom: building 21st-century competences with digital cultural heritage” online course. The course aimed to improve teachers’ understanding of cultural heritage in order to efficiently integrate it into their lessons and practices. The courses can be accessed here.
