Description:
Your students can experience Distance Learning firsthand by participating in a live, interactive videoconference with Museum staff. Videoconference formats are straightforward: Your students will be able to see, hear, and speak with a Museum educator in real time via a television monitor, and that presenter will likewise be able to see, hear, and speak with your students. Museum staff will work with your building's technology coordinator to test audio and video links before the videoconference.
Exciting educational moments occur when close-up cameras are used to visually explore structures as familiar as a robin's nest or as unusual as a tiger beetle's compound eye. Videoconference programs are aligned with Pennsylvania's Academic Standards, and relevant pre-videoconference lesson materials are provided two weeks in advance of scheduled sessions.

Educator Comments:
Carnegie was a wonderful experience for our students. Learning about dinosaurs and their environment was very interesting.

For not being a Zoo, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History does a good job with its Bat program. Our kids stay interested and focused on that program.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History provides video conferences that integrates with our curriculum.

They have wonderful programs.

They provide a friendly place to visit and we have done video conferencing with them and it is always outstanding.

They have very knowledgeable instructors.

They provided materials before the sessions and were very knowledgeable about the subject being presented.

Great use of artifacts.
