EDCS-523 Using Online Resources to Bring Primary Sources to the Classroom

To understand how digital primary source archives (e.g. original documents, photographs, maps, posters, charts, sound recordings, statistics, videos, and other items from specific historical contexts) can enhance student learning, participants will use online resources to access and analyze primary sources, think critically about classroom applications, and develop authentic, engaging learning experiences for students. This course introduces a selection of online resources that provides access to primary sources, teaches how to navigate the sites, and shows how to locate appropriate resources. Practical and thought-provoking evaluation techniques help participants analyze primary sources that enrich instructional practices and classroom activities.
