Linking Classrooms
To Museums Around The World

With Project VIEW the future is now. 

Project VIEW reaches beyond school walls to build a growing foundation of standards-based educational resources that engage the emerging technologies of the 21st century.  VIEW develops relationships with content providers including museums, zoos and libraries all over the world.  VIEW then partners these extraordinary institutions with teachers.  Together, the educators, researchers, curators and other content providers  develop exciting curriculum and content which is supported by the cultural institutions and their resources.   Through the use of videoconferencing and other digital communications, VIEW brings comprehensive interactive curriculum and lessons into the classrooms.
