De uitvinding van het schrift in Mesopotamië

Dit lesmateriaal bestaat uit een volledige powerpointpresentatie De uitvinding van het schrift in Mesopotamië met een uitgebreide docentenhandleiding. Het is bedoeld voor leerlingen van klas 1 t/m 4 binnen de vakken Geschiedenis, Grieks en Latijn (geschikt voor MAVO, HAVO en VWO/Gymnasium). Leerlingen onderzoeken hoe het Mesopotamische spijkerschrift is ontstaan en welke rol schrift speelde in handel, administratie en stedelijke ontwikkeling. Door te werken met online 3D modellen of fysieke 3D prints leren zij hoe kleitabletten eruitzagen, welke typen teksten erop voorkwamen en hoe vorm en lay-out samenhangen met het soort tekst. De les biedt bovendien een waardevolle verbreding van het oudheidcurriculum: door voorbij Griekenland en Rome te kijken, ontdekken leerlingen dat innovatie en schriftcultuur ook buiten het westerse narratief een rijke geschiedenis hebben. De presentatie bestaat uit drie delen; deel 3 is optioneel. De docentenhandleiding bevat per slide een toelichting en duidelijke instructies voor het werken met de 3D modellen tijdens het groepswerk in deel 2. De slides kun je direct gebruiken of aanpassen aan jouw onderwijscontext. Voor deel 2 kun je kiezen tussen de gratis online 3D modellen of fysieke 3D prints (gratis te leen via de Universiteitsbibliotheek VU). Voor deel 1 en 2 samen is minimaal één lesuur nodig; deel 3 duurt circa 10-15 minuten.

Digital replicas of clay tablets from the VU special collections

This collection consists of 16 digitized clay tablets from the VU special collections, as well as some other 3D printed objects that were created over the last few years. The clay tablets have been 3D scanned for you to use in education, both digitally and physically. Every publication below includes: A picture of the clay tablet. A 3D model that can be used digitally and can be 3D printed. Technical instructions for 3D printing the model. Information on the original clay tablet and a link to the original object in the VU image base. Some of the digitized clay tablets are linked to a lesson plan on how to use them in higher and secondary education. If this is the case, the publication of that digitized clay tablet will include a link to that lesson plan. Moreover, the links underneath lead you to an information page on the possibilities for 3D printing at the VU, the VU image base, in which the original clay tablets are metadated and a practical outreach about the 3D scanning process.

Object Based Teaching and Learning

Library collections don't just consist of (online) articles and books. At the University Library of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, we possess a wealth of special collections, from academic heritage to maps and globes. The objects from these collections are used in teaching and research. Through technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, we can present these objects even more vividly to education. For example, students will be able to pass replicas of ancient clay tablets through their hands. In addition, at the VU, numerous other models have been 3D printed and used in educational contexts in recent years. This publication encompasses a selection of the clay tablets of the VU special collections that were digitized as part of the project Digital Impressions, as well as other 3D printed objects, and a collection of educational resources for teaching with objects. Click on one of the two publications in this set to access the resources that you are looking for. Moreover, the link underneath presents you with more information on the Digital Impressions project on the VU website.
