Calendars exhibit

Overview

Calendars Through the Ages is one of several exhibits in the WebExhibits online museum, all of which promote discovery through multidisciplinary approaches that support all learning styles. WebExhibits is a public service of the Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement (IDEA).

The "node view” of Calendars Through the Ages was created using SpicyNodes, a free, intuitive tool that you can use to easily make your own interactive and engaging nodemaps.
