We’re thinking of using the program Flash to design the process through which teachers will go to find and create lessons on DocsTeach. Do enough teachers have access to Flash in their internet browsers at school or would this be restrictive?
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.
Invitation to a Special Opportunity to Critique New DocsTeach Web Site
September 4, 2009
We invite you to contribute to the design of DocsTeach by being one of the first educators to review the features of the site and give feedback. DocsTeach is a one-of-a-kind web site for educators, being developed by the National Archives and teachers participating in the Collaborate community. Please email or call to participate. Teachers who contact us will have an opportunity to learn about the current version of the project and sample the lesson activities that will soon be available for educators. Reviewing the site and giving your suggestions should require approximately one hour of your time and will consist of your reading through a packet of material and participating in a follow up phone call to let us know what you think.
Thanks!
Stephanie, Collaborate Team
