Community reviews for Smithsonian X3D

This a step above the use of basic photographs of primary sources. This website can add insight to a student's understanding of a culture or historical time period. I love that there is background information included with the pieces, so students do not have to do additional searching to find information that may be relevant to the way they look at the piece and how it fits into the historical perspective. Being able to look at something in it’s 3 dimensional state also adds to the experience that a flat piece of paper just can’t give I also love that it is from the Smithsonian Museum and there is little worry about authority and reliability of the website. As a librarian I will definately be recommending this site to a variety of my teachers of all different subjects.
