HistoryConnects is an outreach education initiative by the Virginia Historical Society utilizing cutting-edge technology, including interactive videoconferencing to reach learners of all ages across Virginia and around the globe! The VHS is proud to be among the nation’s leaders in providing interactive distance learning content. VHS programs reinforce both national and state standards of learning, while offering interactive, informative, and engaging explorations of history for all ages.
Do I need special equipment?
HistoryConnects programs take advantage of the high-speed Internet already installed in schools, and do not require any special equipment. The minimum requirements to connect include an Internet connection, a computer, a camera, and a microphone. VHS will make use of the equipment that your school already has, from videoconferencing to smartphones or tablets.
What will this cost?
Individual HistoryConnects programs are $100 per program. VS offers programs to Virginia schools at a reduced rate, and also offer packages and bundles to help reduce the cost.
