The Oriental Institute of the
University of Chicago houses a world-renowned collection of
artifacts from
ancient Syria, Israel, Persia,
Anatolia, Egypt, Nubia, and Mesopotamia. On this website, visitors
can explore
some of these artifacts up close
while also learning more about the history of this important region.
Visitors
should first visit "Life in
Mesopotamia" to learn more about the cultural importance of the
area. Then, they
can click on the "Learning
Collection", here, visitors can zoom-in on artifacts selected by
teachers in order
to learn what these artifacts can
tell us about ancient Mesopotamia. After browsing the learning
collection,
visitors should not miss the "Interactives."
Here they can view additional artifacts as well as view video
clips on various topics including a
virtual archaeological dig and how these ancient artifacts are cared
for
and preserved. In addition,
teaching materials are also provided and K-12 teachers can earn
graduate
credit from an online course
also offered here.
The National Center for
Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) has created NetSmartz.org, an
interactive,
educational safety
resource that teaches kids and teens how to stay safer on the
Internet.
