I was looking through the resources and also stumbled upon this one, since I enjoy music, I decided to include it. Well, that and the fact that one of the last inquiry units I worked on with some elementary students last year focused on the Depression and one group looked at its culture in California with migrant workers, etc. This would have been a great resource for them! The resource comes from the LOC and allows students to explore the culture and ethnicities of folk music during the 30s. There are audio clips to explore, sketches for instrument design and a lot of other cool things here.  I could see students easily using this resource for a history unit or a music class to better understand what life was like during the 30s. In a history class, students might investigate the outlook on life through the lyrics in some of the songs. In a music class, students might trace the development of the music and its instruments. With other resources, students could look at the way the music here has had an influence on what we listen to today. Just some thoughts.

"Explore collections from around the world" by using Google Arts & Culture. LOTS here, but I capture this for the 10th grade students doing research on Martin Luther King, Jr. A simple search of Martin Luther King, Jr brings up over 400 historical pictures, letters and telegrams as well as audio of MLK's speeches thus providing primary resources for students to delve deeply into history.

Take your students on virtual explorations of museums, archives, and art collections from all over the world. Very interesting perspectives, resources, and relics available here!

"The Ways" is a great resource for 4th grade teachers and students as they delve into their Native American Unit. It is part of the Wisconsin Media Lab and shares a great map and community stories from WI.

DIY Education - City X teaches basic 3D modeling, printing & design thinking skills to highlight the importance of creativity in problem solving. Global Connections - City X fosters cultural exchange & awareness by introducing possibilities for global collaboration. Imagination - Given the opportunity to create without limits, what kind of world would kids create? I love this idea to give a purpose to 3D design and printing! I would use it in conjunction with the Design Squad resource below.
