My name is Alan Gauthreaux and I am the National Outreach Coordinator here at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. Here at the Museum we have produced a series of Virtual Field Trip videoconferences that explore the history and lessons of WWII. These videoconferences include live interactions with Museum educators and hands-on analysis of primary documents, artifacts, and oral histories from the war years. They come complete with pre- and post-program curriculum materials, as well as documents, maps, and photographs to be used during each videoconference. In response to teachers’ requests, this year we have added a narrated “virtual tour” of the Museum’s exhibits.
Our current Virtual Field Trips (http://www.nationalww2museum.org/education/teachers.html) include:
§ D-Day: The Turning Point in Europe
§ Iwo Jima and the War in the Pacific
§ Double Victory: African Americans in WWII
§ We’re All in this Together: The American Home Front in WWII
§ Unfinished Business: The Failures at Versailles and the Origins of WWII
