Modules
The digital classroom of the Jewish Museum Berlin introduces students aged 12 (grade 7) and up to Jewish history and contemporary life in Germany following an object-focused, interactive, and dialogue-based approach. They will need tablets or smartphones, headphones, and your supervision. Plan your class time using full, ready-made modules or fit in mini-lessons of your choice.
