I am nervous and excited. Tomorrow I will be participating as a panel member for the Library of Congress Webinar on Chronicling America. Chronicling America is part of the National Digital Newspaper Program. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ They have some newspapers dating back from 1836 - 1922.
You can find newspapers about the Titanic, Abraham Lincoln, the fight for the 19th Amendment and so much more. It is a rich vein for mining primary resources.
This will be the first time they have used google-hangout for their format. I understand that it will also be available on YouTube afterwards.
Join us for a webinar on teaching strategies for using historic newspapers on March 27, 2014, 3:00 EDT. The Library of Congress Education Team in partnership with the Teaching with Primary Sources Program at Metropolitan State University of Denver is pleased to announce its first-ever Hangout for March 27th at 3:00 p.m. EDT. The panel will highlight the historic newspapers available through Chronicling America and discuss teaching strategies for using the materials with students. More at https://plus.google.com/
Wish me luck.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I appreciate the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteOf course I wish you luck, and congratulations, too. It sounds like an honor, Ruth, to be invited to the panel. You always share so much on your blog that I know you'll do beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Ruth. Bravo! Please share what you discuss - the history teacher in me is all agog - I love using primary source documents in my investigations.
