We are combing past resources created by the National Archives education team - online lesson plans, published “Teaching With Documents” articles from Social Education (from the National Council for the Social Studies), and materials from past National Archives workshops and presentations. We will adapt teaching activities from these sources to the lesson templates/frameworks on the new education web site. Are there any lessons from the National Archives that you like to use or have used in the past that you want to see adapted for the new site?
COLLABORATE serves as the virtual meeting place for members of the National Archives education team in Washington, DC, and colleagues from schools, institutions, and organizations across the nation to share innovative ideas and best practices. These conversations will serve as a basis for an exciting new web site and will also offer important feedback and commentary on the site as it develops.
