Distance Learning

Each year, thousands of students tour the museum. In an effort to perpetuate the game of professional football, the Hall of Fame brings these gridiron greats to your school. The Hall of Fame is offering distance learning programs to schools nationwide. Each program is educationally based and is supplemented by classroom activities which are aligned with national standards of education. Join in on these programs to learn such things as Language Arts in Football, NFL Geography, Careers in Sports, and African American history.

Below is a listing of current distance learning programs being offered. Be sure to check back often as we are currently working with our Educational Advisory Panel to develop new topics and they will be added as they are completed.
