The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, based in Cleveland, Ohio, announced several new distance learning programs today that are available for students in grades 4-12 via videoconferencing. Today during our workshop in McAlester, Oklahama, we connected to them and heard some details. Their programs include the following, plus three additional offerings:
- Hip-Hop Technology: From Turntables to Computers
- Rock and Roll Reactions: Records, Radios and the Birth of Teenage Culture in 1950s America
- Ball of Confusion: Rock Music and Social Change in the 60s and 70s
Each hour-long connection costs $100, which includes a pre-conference curriculum packet for teacher and student use and a prior test connection. Schools owning Tandberg videoconferencing equipment and part of the Tandberg connections program receive two free virtual field trips per semester (four per academic year) for each Tandberg unit owned. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame field trips are included!
For more virtual field trip ideas and resources, check out the CILC’s database of virtual field trips.
