About The Virtual History
Museum!
VHM is undergoing revision so that it will work correctly with the latest version of FireFox. You may experience problems using VHM until this revision is complete.
Technology Tools and Environments to
Support the Historical Understanding of Students in
Inclusive Classrooms.
The Virtual History Museum is a
web-based history-learning environment designed to promote
the historical understanding of all students and offer
cognitive supports that will enable full participation
and success for students with mild disabilities. The
Virtual History Museum (VHM) enables a teacher or student,
who serves as a curator, to develop an exhibit about an
historical topic. Exhibits include activities that help
viewers in the VHM investigate the exhibit and then communicate
to others the results of their investigation. The VHM includes features
to support students with disabilities. You can become a guest of the
VHM by clicking on the Register button and then filling in the
requested information.
This project is supported by Grant
#H 327A020023 from the United States Department of Education,

VHM runs in any browser. However, we recommend
that you use VHM with Firefox with CLiCk Speak, a Firefox extension
that is a free screen-reading software utility. VHM operates more
effectively with a high speed internet connection..
