Online Education Conference: Abraham Lincoln

Join the Smithsonian Institution’s first online education conference and explore fascinating aspects of the life and death of one of our nation’s greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. In this innovative online format, developed by the Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies, interact in real-time with Smithsonian experts and connect with hundreds of fellow participants. With only a computer and access to the Internet, see and hear live presentations, take part in a moderated Q&A forum, and exchange ideas with a community of learners. It’s a special behind-the-scenes look into the Smithsonian’s collections of artifacts, artworks, and documents, from the perspectives of history, science and art. Registration for the conference is free and open to everyone. Sessions will be archived for later viewing. Be among the first 100 registrants and receive a free teaching poster and a special Smithsonian lesson plan, “Lincoln in Richmond.”
