American history, I put together several web based assignments, most of
which draw on LOC collections. The urls are below. Please use to your
hearts delight, and send me any suggestions for the future. As expected,
my students were entranced by the depth and breadth of the collections. As
time passed, we all became increasingly sophisticated in our use of the
selected sites. We were really able to, as Randy Bass urged us last
August, to slow down our studies and savor the process. At any rate, here

>2. As part of my work with the American Social History Project's New Media
Classroom AND the LOC, I designed and presented two recent workshops on New

deliver presentation, but I managed to spend a considerable amount of time
with the LOC collections.

program dedicated to Holocaust Studies, as well as the use of history in
secondary classrooms. Although my focus here was more towards the use of
electronic discussion, we did examine and discuss the use of video and
sound archives. The url for this gig is at:

have submitted proposals to a few regional and national conferences on
