Use the Creative Commons infographic below to "sell' all the great stuff that's available AND FREE from the Library of Congress to your teachers of all subjects doing research. Especially our Social Studies partners! (See exciting Social Studies Chat announcement below!)

Back story: I regularly get emails with unsolicited suggestions for blog topics - it's sometimes truly flattering & informative and sometimes
But sometimes I get stuff that even though it's promoting or created by a commercial venture it's really so cool I gotta share it. This is one of those times! So, thanks BestCollegesOnline! But other marketers? Don't hold your breath - I can't be bought - I can be rented by inviting me to speak at your conference or consult with you...but not umm bought.

Below are pictures I took back in 2005 when our district Library Media Specialists went on a "field trip" to the Library of Congress! It was AWESOME!
Oh my gosh, these pictures make me swoon! I want to take a field trip to the Library of Congress and go pic-crazy! We're considering taking our Beta Club to DC next year and I'm so excited!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiff dear for your comment! That would be A-Maze-ING! It truly is a swoon-worthy place - awe inspiring! Ring my celly if you come on up & we'll paint the town #LibraryStyle!
ReplyDeleteHi, Gwyneth. I've been sharing your fabulous infographics with some folks from the Teaching with Primary Sources program, and they are thrilled! I, too, have been in touch with Best Online Colleges, and they've been completely generous with their permissions to use their big Teaching with the Library of Congress infographic, which they produced in house. Nice.
ReplyDeleteOne person noticed that a -c- was missing from the Common Core poster in the word Resources. Any chance you could edit it and repost it on Flickr? Thanks so much!
I get to spend three days at the Library of Congress next week. Every time I go there, I have to pinch myself.
Best,
Mary Johnson

I live easel.ly. I used it with my 7th geaders to create infographics based on polls they gave to the school. We had to put that project on hold for a collaborative projrct witb the social studies teacher, but the beginnings of their projects were fantastic!
