Looking Into the Past
The Library of Congress is full of historical documents for
educators to use when devising a Social Studies unit or lesson. There are
prints and photographs, historic newspapers, maps, manuscripts, films, sound
recordings, and more to be explored on this site. This website is also a great
resource to students who are conducting research for a Social Studies paper.
Students will be able to explore moments of history and learn more about the
world around them.
Sarah, I found this website very educational. I loved looking at the the different maps and photographs of people. This is an awesome site to use in a social studies classroom.
ReplyDeleteThis website has so much to offer, i really like how you can use it to have students do online projects for history. We've been talking about how important it is to get students involved with technology and now they can use it and have educational projects.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like such a neat tool to use. Just the fact that it involves the Library of Congress makes it that much more important. I think its such a great idea to use technology whenever you can when teaching social studies and history because that seems to be the subject that students find the hardest to get connected with.
ReplyDeleteThis website is not like any other I've seen...it offers so many different media to learn from which makes it interesting. I usually find social studies a bit hard to stay focused with and learn, but I definitely could get used to this site, and kids would learn so much from it.
