Dr. James Schul of the Center for Teacher Education, along with students from his Social Studies Methods class, and aided by Dr. Crawford of HPJ and Mr. Tim Montgomery of Allen East High School, hosted the first of three sessions to help teachers from Allen East make use of images from the library of Congress website. Schul applied for and received a grant from the Library to fund the program, and the first day was an introduction to the sessions and participants worked to learn to navigate the website, then worked on using photographic images to teach history. Students helped Schul run the session and worked with the teachers from Allen East to create lesson plans that can be deployed immediately in the classroom. Future sessions will include using political cartoons and sound recordings to teach history.
