Introducing the New and Improved Learning Page



The Learning Page Announces a Redesign!
<http://learning.loc.gov/learn>

What is the Learning Page? It is a Website, created to help educators
use the American Memory collections'
<http://memory.loc.gov/>, primary source materials...such as George
Washington's letters, Walt Whitman's
journals, historic documents like the Gettysburg address, civil war maps
and photographs, recordings of folk
music, some of the earliest motion pictures, and much MUCH MORE!!!!

The Learning Page consists of eight sections:

"New" will keep you up to date as we add new resources for your use!

"Orientation" explains what the American Memory collections are;
provides help with finding items in the
collections; and offers FAQs and a site map to help you find your way
around the Learning Pages.

"Features" brings together items from across the American Memory
collections to investigate timely themes
such as Elections, and Immigration.

"Collections" gives in depth information about individual American
Memory collections as well as suggested
activities and strategies for using the collections to develop critical
thinking skills.

"Activities" provides an engaging introduction to the American Memory
collections through activities that can
be used independently or through the direction of the teacher.

"Educators" offers a variety of professional development and outreach
programs including the American
Memory Fellows Program; workshops and presentations offered in
Washington D.C. and through distance
education; and information about the Library's participation in national
and regional conferences.

"Lessons" shares teacher-created and classroom-tested lessons which span
curricular themes and multiple
grade levels.

"Resources" serves up tips and tricks for accessing, printing and saving
resources from the American Memory
collections; how to cite sources and understand copyright; how to order
reproductions; and links to additional,
high quality internet resources for classroom use.

The Learning Page is for students, educators and  life-long learners of
all ages!  We hope you enjoy the new
look, new navigation, new organization and new content! A new
Inaugurations Feature is on the way!
