Welcome to our Paddock! Come meet some amazing horses!
Welcome to Horse Tales, the online meeting place where K-12 students can spend quality time meeting, learning about and enjoying nature’s most magnificent animals. Horse Tales was created in Kentucky, a state known throughout the world for its fine horses, and now with a click of a button, students everywhere can learn more about the beautiful horses here at the Kentucky Horse Park. It may even lead students to create and contribute their own experiences and feelings about horses they know, whether in real-life or in their imaginations!
Students:
Enjoy digital stories about horses at the Kentucky Horse Park, learn more about horses from graphic novels and download free digital bookmarks. There’s a lot to see, so take your time. You wouldn’t want to gallop through and miss something!
Teachers:
Horse Tales offers an inviting multi-media format ideal for improving literacy as well as honing crucial writing and technology skills. It also provides an excellent opportunity for cross-disciplinary learning and collaboration with other students. Best of all, horses are fascinating—and fun!
COMING SOON:
A resource tool that will allow students to create and share their own digital horse stories, and a blog where students can post thoughts, ideas and comments.
Horse Tales is a collaboration between Eastern Kentucky University’s Library Science and Literacy programs, the Kentucky Horse Park and, more importantly, Kentucky public school libraries, including Dixie Magnet ElementarySchool. For more information, click here.
