extra credit

TASK:

With this extra credit opportunity, you will visit any historical site or museum website (or virtual tour) that has connections with what we have learned in this class, and write a review of it. Secondly, tell me how it could be used in the US History classroom as a teaching tool (This info will be of great value to me for future classes). Post your review in the Discussions/Extra Credit. Note, you must post a thread before you can see the other threads. Length: 500 words or more. Due: April 30, 11:30 pm.
