GREETINGS EDUCATORS, INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNICIANS, AND ADMINISTRATORS!
My name is Alan Gauthreaux and I am the National Outreach Coordinator at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana. The museum has produced a series of VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS which enlighten as well as entertain students, teachers, and lifelong learners alike. Our mission is to instruct students and teachers on the various facets of World War II, and draw comparisons with current events to produce a comprehensive understanding of our world today. Moreover, we have added a new dynamic which brings the museum and some of its artifacts to life with a “Virtual Visit”!
Not only will you receive an informative and engaging videoconference lesson complete with the “Virtual Visit” mentioned above, but you will also receive interactive documents which engage the students in the lesson as well as provide the instructor with post-conference assessment resources.
Our Virtual Field Trips include:
D-DAY: THE TURNING POINT IN EUROPE;
IWO JIMA AND THE WAR IN THE PACIFIC;
DOUBLE VICTORY: AFRICAN AMERICANS IN WORLD WAR II, just time for Black History Month;
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER: THE AMERICAN HOMEFRONT DURING WORLD WAR II;
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: THE FAILURE AT VERSAILLES AND THE ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II;
LOS VETERANOS: LATINOS AND LATINAS IN WORLD WAR II;
THE WARRIOR TRADITION: AMERICAN INDIANS IN WORLD WAR II; and, in commemoration of the 67th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
THE GIANT AWAKENS: THE JAPANESE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, DECEMBER 7, 1941.
For professional development, we also have the following videoconference workshops:
Operation Overlord: The D-Day Invasion of Normandy;
From Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay: WWII in the Pacific;
Double Victory: African Americans in WWII;
We Can Do It: Women in WWII; and
V for Victory: The Home Front during WWII.
$100 per session.
Several teachers and instructional technicians around the country praised our programs. Here are just a few comments:
