Want to use more digital primary sources your classroom? Register for Teaching with Primary Sources: Using “American Memory” and investigate digital exhibits, lessons, and interactive tools through a variety of learning experiences. Guided by readings, class discussion, and your individual classroom needs, you and your classmates will analyze digital primary sources and brainstorm potential classroom applications. You select digital items that connect to the grade level you teach. Using social media, you and the group can continually share ideas and questions outside of the classroom. Beyond investigating the Library of Congress, historians and archive educators will provide you with history content and archival connections. Building on these experiences, you will research and develop a thematic unit plan as a group. Then, you will write a corresponding lesson for the team unit. You and your group will share your unit ideas and lessons with the class using media tools. You will earn three graduate credits for this course.
