2. Technology Integration
Rationale
 Ancient Egypt is a very important civilization for
everyone to learn about. It is considered to be one of
the birthplaces of modern civilization because of its
many achievements in math, science, and
architecture.
 Ancient Egyptian history is very old and dates back to
before even Ancient Greece, because of this it will be
necessary to incorporate technology to gain
information about the ancient civilization which no
longer exists today.

3. Website Reliability
• Sites were only used if from a reputiable
source such as a museum or if they were
recommended by the NEA.
• All sites were reviewed to check that it was a
good source and that the information was up
to date.

4. Egypt Blog
https://egyptmanchester.wordpress.com
 This is the blog for Egypt at the Manchester Museum. The
blog is run and updated regularly by the Curator of Egypt
and the Sudan at the Manchester Museum. The blog
includes information on Ancient Egyptian artifacts as well
as current findings and news about Ancient Egypt.
 Students will be able to use this blog to see and learn
