MWOW! Network
Museums Without Walls provides curriculum driven virtual field trips for P-12 teachers and their students. In a time where field trips are scarce, MWOW! helps bring museums into the classroom. More than just a virtual tour, MWOW! takes museum artifacts and links them to existing lessons and activities that are state guideline compliant. Through technology, exploration, and active learning, students in financially and geographically remote schools can be inspired by museums without even leaving their desks.
