    Just a note to let you know how much I am enjoying looking through your opening day activity ideas in the albums you created today. Since most teachers who are participating in this week's Northern Virginia Partnership TPS workshop are new to the TPS Teachers Network, you may not know about the major changes we have recently made to the album tool. Not only can you now save several different media formats (videos, links, audio files - in addition to the usual images), but you also have a new space for Teaching Notes. It is in your Teaching Notes that I have seen such wonderful examples of your creative approaches to teaching with primary sources.

    Thank you, and have a great workshop!

    Thanks!  We are excited to be using the album features and are starting with images before moving on to other media.  The outstanding teachers enrolled in this year's summer Academy will be using he space for notes to  describe the activity idea and directions.

    Thanks, Mary. Our teachers are finding the Network very user friendly.
