Virtual Museum Projects in Native America - Mark Christal, Paul Resta, and Loriene Roy
The Four Directions project (http://www.4directions.org), funded by a federal Challenge Grant, worked with 19 American Indian schools in 10 states to promote the use of technology for the purpose of creating and delivering culturally responsive curriculum. The Four Directions helped these schools to develop technology-supported curricula and learning activities that were thematic and interdisciplinary, connecting the values and traditions of these diverse cultures with core academic standards. One of initiatives of the project was the production of virtual museums of native culture, which uses Web page authoring, multimedia production, and new media such a QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR).
