Virtual Museum Canada

I came across this 'bit of alright' at the vss conference on Thursday and wanted to share.

"The Virtual Museum of Canada celebrates the stories and treasures that have come to define Canada over the centuries. Here you will find innovative multimedia content that educates, inspires and fascinates! The VMC harnesses the power of the Internet to bring Canada's rich and diverse heritage into our homes, schools and places of work. This revolutionary medium allows for perspectives and interpretations that are both original and revealing."

They have linked museums (historical and scientific) all over the country and made it possible to create and share lessons with archived material in their Teachers' Centre. You can also start a blog or a wiki.

There's also an interesting course wiki from 2008 about using museum resources in teaching.
