New York State Museum’s Online Education Portal
The New York State Museum (NYSM) now offers a one-stop place for a wide variety of online educational resources for students and their teachers and caregivers. The NYSM Portal to Online Education Resources and Activities includes the museum’s popular Facebook Live Field Trip videos, fun activities to connect children with the research and collections of the museum, and resources that can augment virtual learning initiatives. Links to online collections, behind the scenes “Museum Moments,” online exhibits, and teacher guides help make the museum accessible even when our doors need to be closed.
