In this activity, HippoCampus resources are used to supplement classroom instruction. The teacher creates a playlist of resources that can enhance the learning experience. Some students will want to review video resources several times. Others may only watch a video once. HippoCampus is a way to provide differentiated instruction.

HippoCampus is a searchable database of more than 7000 free videos and multimedia resources in the National Repository of Online Courses (NROC) library. Resources are correlated to leading textbooks and state standards. Teachers can use high-quality videos, animations, and simulations on core academic topics to supplement classroom instruction, flip their classroom, reinforce learning through simulation, or to assign as homework. Content is most appropriate for adult school students working at the middle school or high school level.

There is no student enrollment or login. Accounts are only necessary for teachers that want to customize the site for their own classroom or to create their own playlists.

In this activity, students work in groups to explore the 1492 exhibit called An Ongoing Voyage. Just as the first Europeans explored the world, students are guided through various ports of the Mediterranean and the Americas.

The exhibit provides two levels of use: one is a guided tour, which will be represented by the image of a ship: and the words Continue the Voyage will be alongside the image. When students finish exploring the documents and images to be found at a particular destination, they will want to sail on to the next by area by selecting either the image of the ship or the highlighted destination.

The exhibition examines the first sustained contacts between American people and European explorers, conquerors, and settlers from 1492 to 1600. The exhibit is divided into six sections:

What Came To Be Called "America"
The Mediterranean World
Christopher Columbus: Man and Myth
Inventing America
Europe Claims America
Epilogue
