Home School: Virtual Art Galleries via Google Maps Mania

May 25th, 2020 No comments

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the largest art gallery in the United States. It has over two million works of art in its permanent collection.

The Met 360° Project is a series of six 360° movies which allow you to explore the museum and some of its galleries. The videos include tours of the Great Hall, the Met Cloisters and the Charles Engelhard Court. As each video plays you can pan around 360°, just like you can in Google Maps Street View.

Home School: Who Named the United States? via History Matters on YouTube

May 17th, 2020 No comments
 
The United States of America. The USA. America. The Land of the Free. These are just some of the names for that continental sized nation which Alaska wishes it could touch. You’ll be surprised to know that other names were considered for the new nation during the American Revolution against Britain and that a name wasn’t settled on until the Constitutional Congress. Until other ideas, like Columbia or Fredonia were proposed. So why did the Founding Fathers choose the name ‘United States of America’.

You’ll notice that many ex-British Colonies, like Australia, Canada and New Zealand don’t use pounds like their former British overlords but instead use dollars. Why? What caused these nations to switch currencies and why did they prefer America’s style of currency of the Britain’s? Find out in this video, the latest in my very short, animated historical documentaries (about history).
