Today’s Tech B.F.F.~~~The Memorial Hall Museum Online offers a Magic Lens www.americancenturies.mass.edu/activities/ which allows students to manipulate documents so they can better understand what they are reading. 

Why is this a big deal?  “As students work with primary source documents and learn from scaffolded analysis tools and procedures, they gain confidence to start to frame the problem in their own way, seek solutions on their own, use their own methods, and make their own mistakes. Their experience with modeled document analysis provides the structure that allows them to take risks—they develop their own hypotheses and discover that there is no single right answer.” (Allen et al, 2005/2006)
