    What an exceptional online experience! Thanks for sharing that,   Vivian Awumey  -- it is really groundbreaking delivery.

    Thank you   Vivian Awumey  for the link to this amazing exhibition!  The online exhibit is not only powerful for its content and primary sources but also for its visuals, design and animations.  This is something that will certainly pull users in to learn, to empathize, and to pass along.

    I also think that this is an amazing example of how a story can be told through combining primary sources and technology design.  Students might find a history story they can tell by using some fairly simple tools to emphases the primary sources.  The image that   Margaret Lincoln  shared above is a wonderful example.

    I've also included some thoughts on that here, in the TPS Teachers Network Tech Talk Group: Digitally Lifting Out Heritage & History and   Soline Holmes  has an engaging post and link in Street Car Route Story Map.  

    I'm really appreciating the variety of ways that storytelling happens and that students can learn from this creativity.

      

    It really is fantastic exhibit. It reminds me, a bit, of the interactive art project and web interface called At the Table with: Mary Church Terrell, which was created by two Archives, History and Heritage Advanced Internship Program (AHHA) interns in their work with the Connecting Communities Digital Initiative (CCDI) team. You can learn more in this Network discussion of the project.
