Updated Sharing Resources found by Learners in PBS TeacherLine’s Library of Congress course

Category: PBS, Post Feed Tags: , , , Leave a Comment

PBS Teacherline’s course, “Teaching with Primary Sources from the Library of Congress“ begins today (April 18), and I am grateful to facilitate this course!

This is a resource-rich course for educators, administrators, parents…anyone who wants to learn more about the Library of Congress and their resources. We also delve a bit into the topic of copyright, a timely topic at any time.

This post will be updated frequently as an archival record of the resources that we, as a class collective, discover as we explore the resources at the Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/. Please feel free to join our participatory partnership- leave a comment, share a resource you find, and/or the way(s) you will include Library of Congress resources in your instructional practice.

Thank you for attending our Online Summer Faculty Meeting

Here are the takeaways we noted from Michelle’s presentation, (thank you again, Michelle!)

May 2 HSU Summer Faculty Mtg
May 2 HSU Summer Faculty Mtg
  1. Find the balance between what is convenient vs. what is effective
  2. Students prefer 2nd chances for assignments
  3. Qualitatively feedback preferred over the quantitative numeric score
  4. Prefer written feedback rather than video and audio (video takes awhile to load)
  5. Discussion variety preferred (voice thread, discussions, video, audio, avatar )
