How To Use The Web To Teach Your Kids
Because of all the school budget cuts, parents have to pick up the slack and expose their children to learning opportunities. Fortunately, the online world is filled with educational materials — if you know how to search for them. And because kids are so ahead of where we were at kids, going online to learn is totally natural for them. I used to watch my four-year-old nephew click around YouTube looking for Cape Kennedy launch videos and footage of tornadoes, so it should be a snap for older children.
There are plenty of opportunities for learning in odd places, such as in the world of vintage art. Digitized old postcards, greeting cards, magazine pages and other “ephemera” contain a view of history that’s quite revealing. The following vintage images are just a handful of the types you can use for teaching:
Vintage Travel Art
Kids can learn a lot about the world from free vintage travel art. These walks down memory lane not only teach about the destinations, but how different cultures were represented in advertising.
Historical Sailing Ships Paintings and Photos
There’s a lot of fascinating information to be discovered when studying historic ships. From barqs to Blackwall frigates to the elegant historic vessels that sail in the modern Tall Ships Race, stories abound of life at sea.
American Icon Postcards
There were quite a few postcards printed that featured American statesmen and heroines. In fact, these were all the rage. From printable pictures of George Washington to cards with pictures of Betsy Ross and John Adams to fictional American icons like Uncle Sam, the Internet is full of antique pictorial references. Many tell stories along with the pictures, making them a great source of mini history lessons.
Spoonerisms
Fairy tale spoonerisms originated in the early- to mid-20th Century, created by Reverend William Archibald Spooner and made famous by Frederick Chase Taylor, a radio comedian, performing under the name Colonel Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle. These unusual versions of traditional fables swap letters or sounds in unique ways. Authentic examples from Spooner himself include “cattle ships and bruisers” for “battleships and cruisers” and “a blushing crow” for “a crushing blow”. Besides being entertaining, these mangled mash-ups also give children the chance to play with words.
Victorian Costumes
Fashion isn’t necessarily trivial or just for children who want to become designers, if it reveals something about the way people used to live. Looking at Victoriana how different life was almost two centuries ago. With any luck, they’ll understand just how good they have it now!
You can also find plenty of current subjects that make fine teaching materials. You just have to watch out for impartiality. Kids are like sponges, so you’ll want to make sure they receive balanced information. Keeping an emphasis on fairness will make a big difference to them later in their lives.
