>>The New Deal Network (http://newdeal.feri.org) is looking for K-12
>>teachers to take part in the 1999 Summer New Deal Network Teachers
>>Workshop, to be held at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and at the
>>FDR Library in Hyde Park between Saturday, July 10 and Saturday, July
>>17. The workshop, which is funded in part by the National Endowment for
>>the Humanities, will focus on the development of Web-based New Deal era
>>projects for future classroom use. Activities scheduled for the week
>>will include: films and lectures featuring New Deal historians; an
>>introduction to the use of primary documents at the Franklin D.
>>Roosevelt Presidential Library; workshops on the use of the New Deal
>>Network and other online resources in the classroom; project-focused Web
>>development and design workshops; and the presentation of individual
>>works-in-progress to the Workshop group. We will also visit many of the
>>important historical sites in the area, including the Roosevelt Home and
>>Museum, Val Kill, and Top Cottage.
>>
>>The grant will pay airfare, mileage at $.325 per mile for those
>>traveling by car up to a maximum of $500, or roundtrip train fare for
>>those of you in the New York City metropolitan area. Vassar College will
>>be providing lodging and meals during the workshop from the Welcoming
>>Dinner on Saturday, July 10 through lunch on Saturday, July 17. In
>>addition, each participant will receive a $500 stipend. Applicants
>>should submit a project proposal (maximum one page), a description of
>>their knowledge of the Internet and the level of Internet access in
>>their school, a resume, and the names of two references familiar with
>>their teaching (eg., a department head and/or principal).
>>
>>Projects should provide opportunities for your students to discover the
>>impact of the New Deal in their own communities, to document their
>>findings, and to create Web pages reporting on their research and
>>conclusions. Projects might also include interacting with classrooms
>>elsewhere in the country or the creation of curriculum based on New Deal
>>materials. These pages will then be linked to the New Deal Website.
>>Several projects, some of them created by participants in the 1998 NDN
>>summer workshop, can be accessed on the New Deal Network at
>>http://newdeal.feri.org.
>>
>>Applications should be postmarked no later than January 15th, 1999.
