1) Make a playlist ( Yes, just place your audio links on the wall ) of historical recordings surrounding a topic of study. Try exploring the historic recordings from the National Jukebox at the Library of Congress to start.
2) Connect the then and now of historic advertisements and today's print or online ads by connecting students to past advertisements in the Chronicling America Historic Newspaper Collection or search advertisement in the Library of Congress search bar for great ideas.
3) Celebrate a birthday of a historic figure and have students contribute primary sources in a variety of forms that illuminate the life of that person. You can find a person easily in the Today in History section of the Library of Congress.
4) Place a quote on a Padlet wall and have students analyze it before and after a lesson to assess knowledge.

6) Create an inquiry project around Sanborn Maps and have students compare them to current day printed maps, Google maps, or images that show the changes and similarities between then and now.
7) Post a primary source and have students "complete the story" of the source.
8) Use Padlet as a guide for learning by posting inquiry questions with a QR code and primary source.
9) Post a primary sources and evaluate the bias and perspective of the source. Have students think about the purpose and time period of the primary sources and the message it gives the reader. Political cartoons are a great start and PUCK is a pretty amazing collection at LOC.gov
10) Post a primary source and have students create a twitter chat around the primary source in writing or with the Padlet audio function.
