Teachers and students as well as other interested parties will appreciate this interactive timeline that explores 4.5 billion years of the Earth’s existence from the formation of the planet to the emergence of our own species, homo sapiens. Each click on the timeline brings up a short description of the events and developments complete with visuals and an option for further information. Additionally, users can also learn more about the pre-historic world in the Mass Extinction section that includes other related features such as the Jurassic Photo Gallery, Triassic Period, and the Cretaceous Period.

While many people think of the Library as simply the place where we keep all the books, there is much more here for your classroom, even if you don’t teach history or language arts. A good place to start is the Learning Page which offers lesson plans for using primary sources in the classoom and much more to help you use the Library site. Other sections include the fabulous Amercian Memories collection, online versions of many of the Library’s exhibits, the Global Gateway to access international resources, and Thomas, an index of recent and ongoing Congressional legislation. On top of everything else, they’ve recently revised the site to make it easier to navigate.

PowerPoint Palooza
These presentations range in size from a dozen or so slides each to over 145 slides. Several PPTs contain large sound/music files. Therefore, they may take a while to load. Be patient!
To teachers--save them, modify them, use them in your classrooms as you wish, BUT please do NOT run the PPTs from this site. Download them and save them on your own hard drive.

History teachers and students will find this to be a rich resource for developing thinking skills using primary documents from the American Memory Collection. Image Detectives offers students the opportunity to examine documents the way historians do by observing details, drawing conclusions, and posing questions for further research. Investigations include immigration, women's suffrage, growing cities, industrialization, progressive reform and more. The Investigations explore selected themes like women's changing roles, prairie settlement, child labor, and the representation of Indians and include interactive exercises such as making a lantern slide show. In the Exhibit Builder students use images from the collections and text they write themselves to create a gallery or a slide show. Included are teacher pages for each of the exercises that offer suggestions for use.

The World Digital Library, supported by UNESCO, is a project to provide primary sources from other countries and cultures free of charge, and is offered in seven different languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, andRussian. The design of the website is easy to navigate and very interactive, with its map of the world and timeline beneath it. Moving either of the lime green bars on the left and right of the timeline will change the images on the world map above it, and will provide images of the time period chosen when clicked. Each image is explained in whichever of the seven languages chosen in which to view the site, but any language that appears in the image remains in its original language. At the top of the page, visitors can choose to browse by "Place", "Time", "Topic", "Type of Item", and"Institution". The image quality is excellent, and once chosen, the image can be zoomed in on and panned. Thumbnails of similar items to the image chosen are also provided underneath the image.The World Digital Library, supported by UNESCO, is a project to provide primary sources from other countries and cultures free of charge, and is offered in seven different languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, andRussian.
