Library of Congress Has So Much to Offer Teachers!

A few summers ago, I took a wonderful course called Teaching Information Literacy Using Primary Sources.Using The Library of Congress' American Memory Collection, I was exposed to an incredible amount of information, including photos, maps, journals, audio tapes and videos. The name of the course has recently changed, but the content seems to be the same and is still taught by Mary Alice Anderson. Check here if you are interested. This digital collection is constantly evolving, as new items are added all the time. The Library of Congress even has its own YouTube channel.

The teachers' section is filled with classroom materials, (lesson plans, themed resources) professional development, (online modules and more) a section on additional resources, ( slide shows from past LOC events, historic American newspapers, American Memory Timeline and more!) a blog entitled Teaching With the Library of Congress and so much more.

If you haven't checked out the Library of Congress yet, you must find time to explore this amazing resource!!

38 Sites for High School Lesson Plans


Hopefully these web sites offer every high school teacher some great lesson plans
for their subject area. The links should bring you directly to the "high school" 
section. I tried to label those sites which did not offer browsing by grade level. 
Even though it's not even August yet, it's never too early to start gathering some 
great ideas. You will also notice that I just added the "high school" tab at the top
of the blog.

Internet safety, digital citizenship

documents, PDFs, MP3 files

and Virginia's site for educators
