| Mastering American Memory…and More How can anyone “master” the vast, intimidating collections of American Memory? Fortunately, in an inquiry model, you only have to know enough to guide your students to search, question, and analyze effectively. This highly practical, hands-on workshop, led by Mary J. Johnson (former Library of Congress American Memory Fellow), will give you the courage to introduce the exciting world of online primary sources to your students. You’ll go home with useful guides, lots of lesson ideas, new skills, and a plan. Topics covered include American Memory and other primary source collections, teaching with primary sources, using inquiry and collaboration to introduce students to primary sources. The American Memory Web site can be found at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/. Anticipated audience: K-20 teachers, librarians, and technology specialists. Speaker Handouts
