Distance Learning
These hour-long, live, interactive programs are great for your students whether they’re at home or in your classroom. Though Zoom is our preferred platform, we are happy to accommodate your technology needs and requirements. Program length can be shortened for class length, as needed. For deeper engagement, create a multi-visit experience by pairing a distance learning program with an on-site or outreach program!
History in a Nutshell
Looking for quick history lessons and follow-up activities for your class? Look no further! Incorporate these Connecticut history snapshots into your classroom on your schedule. All of these lessons are inquiry-based and feature a variety of primary sources from our vast museum collection. History in a Nutshell is available free of charge to help support our educational community; all we ask is that you complete a quick survey after completing these activities.
