Welcome to CR 2.0, I'm sure you'll find a lot of good ideas here. I have a blog that might be of interest A Very Old Place showcases projects we've done using primary source documents and also highlights some Web 2.0 tools. Check it out. N
Thanks, Nancy - looks like the sort of blog I'm interested in - primary resources - great!

Adam, cool project. I love history but I didn't develop that love in school. All of my history teachers lectured at us and made us memorize fact after fact. It's wonderful that you're getting your students to make a personal connection to history. Let us know how this project turns out.
I got really interested in doing more to support primary grade learner's understanding of what "history" really means, and how it is a part of everyone's experience, through a great class/federal grant project this summer. Teaching American History, Understanding the Blessings of Liberty - geared towards k-3rd grade teachers - it was a blast! A group of about 20+ teachers, we visited a variety of museums and galleries with experienced docents who guided us towards more meaningful ways to interpret authentic items and primary documents for children.

We visited Mount Vernon, the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of the American Indian, the Postal Museum, and George Mason's plantation at Gunston Hall. Great summer class!

Hi all. I am a former HS teacher in NY. Wouldn't it be a better idea to have these comments sorted by most recent order?

Presently I work with WISE Services ( www.wiseservices.org ) to help High Schools establish experiential learning programs for seniors and with Fordham University training Teach for America 1st year teachers in the Bronx.

Hello,

I've taught english classes via skype to brazilians in brazil. I am a software engineer by day. I've also been teaching myself Portuguese with the help of brazilians on the net and in my local community. I'm interested if anyone else has taught students solely online, especially students in other countries. I'm interested in new technologies that allow for a rich collaborative online educational experience.
Hi Jason
Is connecting with other classes via Skype quite easy - fairly new to this game!
