Virtual Classroom Webinar: From Monuments to Memorable Learning Moments with the National Mall Gateway

Think about your last fieldtrip. What caused a student to light up? What was the moment when everything you’d talked about in the classroom clicked? Wouldn’t it be amazing to have those moments of discovery and connection throughout the school year, not just during field trips? You can with the National Mall Gateway, a free online resource that immerses your students in this iconic civic space, from the Lincoln Memorial to Constitution Gardens.

During this webinar you’ll hear from school librarian Dr. Melaney Sanchez about how she uses the Gateway’s virtual tours, videos and activities to anchor lessons, spark discussion, and support cross-curricular learning.

She and Bobby Koeth, Senior Product Manager of the National Mall Gateway, will share strategies, tips and tools you can use in your own classroom. They’ll:

- Discuss the design and pedagogy behind the Gateway

- Explain how to connect the memorials, monuments, and stories of the National Mall to history, civics, English language arts, math, and art

- Show how to use the Gateway’s virtual tools to power inquiry-based projects

Whether you're planning a trip to D.C. or bringing the Mall to your students from a thousand miles away, you'll leave with practical ways to use the Gateway across the curriculum.
