Podcast: Browsing the Library of Congress
If you haven’t explored the Library of Congress website lately, you should. I spent some time in their booth and NECC and was impressed by what they have to offer there. While I wasn’t impressed with the layout of the site, the content is well worth wading through. I also discovered that using the advanced search feature of Google Images can certainly make finding images there much more manageable. The summer months are a great time to find new ways to fill out the curriculum, and orignial source material definitely helps your students put things in perspective historically.
Enjoy the show!

Just found the podcast through link from techlearning.com. The podcast was very relevant to me, particularly as a history teacher. I also appreciate your tip about Google Images connecting to the Library of Congress. Excellent suggestion!
