David Warlick has talked for several years about how “digital immigrants” (most of us!) are consumers of information and “digital natives” (most of our kids) see information as raw material. The problem with sites that are even as good as the NARA Education page is that the information is still organized in textual and linear ways. This makes it difficult for digital natives to access and mess with the data.

Janice StearnsDigital Vaults looks like a really great way to explore the National Archives, full of primary resources. This post explains well the advantages of using this service.

Digital Vaults gives you and your kids a place to find raw materials that are arranged in ways that may make more sense to them. The site is set up a bit like a social network.

Christy TuckerDescription of the National Archives Digital Vault and how it may help digitial natives find primary sources in a more accessible way. I'm not sure whether the digital native/immigrant difference is as important as the simple fact that the Digitial Vault is more visually appealing and interactive. I think it helps show patterns and connections between primary sources more effectively, which can be helpful for people of any age.
