Monday, April 11, 2011 Pass It On Education Tools: Go Back To Childhood---And To England---For Free! Other sites in my series of virtual tours (The White House, The CIA, The Louvre, The National Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and the Smithsonian Ocean Portal) can all be accessed by clicking the preceding links. I am spotlighting these "virtual tours"----and will continue to search for others----as part of an effort to help your school(s) economize in these tight times. Even as budgets get tighter, it becomes easier and easier for the "great" places to project themselves to the public for free! Students can visit these places from the comfort of (and at the cost of) being in their own classroom! Here is another neat place to visit, in person or virtually. It is the Museum of Childhood! Read more about it below, or just click the image below to visit!  In their words: "Welcoming over 400,000 visitors through its doors every year, the V&A Museum of Childhood in London's Bethnal Green houses the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection of childhood-related objects and artefacts, spanning the 1600s to the present day. The collection includes toys - including dolls, dolls' houses, puppets and teddy bears - games, childcare, clothing, furniture and art and photography. In addition, the Museum runs a dynamic programme of temporary exhibitions and displays, a wide variety of activities, events and workshops for adults and families, outreach projects in hospitals and the local community, and an award-winning programme for schools. The Museum aims to encourage everyone to explore the themes of childhood past and present, and to develop an appreciation of creative design through our inspirational collections and varied public programme."
