  1. Resources for Meeting the Nebraska Social Studies Standards in History Kevin Bower Nebraska Wesleyan University Kearney, Nebraska July 31, 2013

  2. Engaging Students in “Doing History” Thinking Like a Historian Reading Like a Historian

  3. The Problem of Finding Useable Documents Resources for Finding Documents Library of Congress, loc.gov National Archives, archives.gov

  4. Library of Congress resources American Memory collection features the most “polished” collections. It can be difficult to navigate and lacks consistency in how documents are presented. http://www.loc.gov/index.html The Library is in the process of addressing some of the problems with loc.gov.

  5. National Archives resources The National Archives has added teaching resources in recent years. Docsteach.org is a terrific resource for teachers. If teachers register with the site they can access to lessons created by other teachers and can create their own lessons “in the cloud.” This could allow Nebraska teachers to share across an ESU or between ESU’s.
