Time Explorers....become Indiana Jones!

Yesterday, I was alerted to the existence of a website for The British Museum by Kristin Swanson, keeper of an awesome Ed. Tech blog, Teachers as Technology Trailblazers.

So, The British Museum has a section of their website dedicated to Young Explorers that is a fantastic place to find fun facts, games, pictures, and events that have to do with world history.  One of the best games, also the one that Ms. Swanson highlighted, was Time Explorer. Students are transported back to a period in time to recover precious artifacts while learning fun facts about the civilization they are visiting.  Some of the adventures include Ancient Rome, or the Mayan pyramids at Teotihuacan.  Don't forget to check out the other games, as well as the other areas of the main site!
