> This last week was the National Council for the Social Studies conference.

>
> At the booth, we met many people who had just come on line and wanted to
> know what we had. We gave away 2000 posters of Migrant Mother (ran out at
> 10:30 on Sunday). The presentation was well received also. Working with
> colleagues from other federal agencies was beneficial for the participants
> as well as for us. Our materials are complimentary and it was good to
> demonstrate this to everyone.
>
> We did the presentation low tech - paper handouts and overhead
> transparencies! For this audience and for the content of the presentation
> (Making a Difference with Primary Sources), it was the best method.
>
> If anyone has any "wish I had done it this way" or "glad I had this to

> process - this year - of developing workshop frameworks, both virtual and
> real-time. The goal is for these to be available for Fellows, et al, to
> pull these things off our website to use in local, district, etc. staff
> development moments.
>
> Any tips from any of you would benefit all of you!
>
> Hope all is going well with the 98 Fellows and their lesson development.
> The 97 Fellows know exactly what you are going through! If 98s have any
> questions or need any suggestions, please feel free to ask a question to
> the list. I bet you'll find someone who's been there, done that, and
> figured out a way around it. As the saying goes, the 97s have walked a
