It has been wonderful meeting and working with all of you this summer.  Like I said at our final meeting, it is nice being involved with others who share a deep appreciation for what primary sources can offer.

Everything is a Primary Source is looking for educators to take part in our innovative approach to facilitating social studies lessons and units. The Everything is a Primary Source Project is an open-source, interactive primary source reader, using popular culture artifacts to start, and build upon, meaningful conversations between students in all parts of the country. Your students’ contributions will provide the necessary momentum to bring primary sources to life, and help put the social back in social studies.

Please visit the Classroom page of everything-history.com to look through the archive and preview what’s to come this school year. These entries feature a podcast about the primary source at hand, contextualizing information, and other, related documents to consider. The interactive archive complements the Everything is a Primary Source teaching method, but can also be integrated with any other instructional style with ease.

Although there are other ways for your classes to contribute besides adding audio, know that Podcasting for Posterity is part training course and part student project, presented to increase teachers’ abilities with audio creation in their classrooms.

Here’s to the new school year!
