Well we started with 10 ideas and once we multiplied it with primary sources we loved, and great tools to use, we ended up with over 250 ideas for using primary sources in the classroom! History, Art, Historic Preservation, Science...it's all there!
We are thrilled to be presenting at the National Council for Social Studies (#NCSS14) and even happier that we can share our love of primary sources and technology with participants and friends at the conference in Boston.
We are deeply proud to be part of the team from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Regional Center in Colorado who are presenting in Boston and will be tweeting out resources this week (and next) to showcase ideas on how to merge Web 2.0 and Social Media tools with the rich collections and digital resources from the Library of Congress.
If you don't know about the Library of Congress TPS program check out their links here: http://www.loc.gov/teachers/tps/
Here's a list of great tools and ideas! Check some of them out and bring non-fiction, primary sources, critical thinking, and 21st century skills into your classroom!Check out the links below for social studies, literacy, student engagement, science, math, art, architecture, and historic preservation ideas using primary sources from the Library of Congress (LOC.gov )
Enjoy...and ask questions and contribute your thoughts at #psgeek and todaysmeet.com/psgeek. We will be answering and continuing to share!

Assessment Professional Development Example from Thompson Valley Schools PD
We did a series of Professional Development Sessions for Thompson Valley over the course on one school year during Early Release Time at their Middle Schools. We were able to focus on an assessment need that they had and also include web 2.0 tools, technology in education and 21st Century Learning! Talk to us about how we can customize a Professional Development Session for you!
