Engage in an inquiry-based learning experience using a variety of primary sources (photographs, audio recordings, motion pictures, sheet music, and print materials) from the Library of Congress.  Hands-on activities will include the integration of free, online tools such as Prezi, Google Earth, wikis, VoiceThread, and Wordle with primary sources, in order to promote critical thinking, questioning, and student engagement. The virtual doors to the Library of Congress are open. Let us show you what's possible!
