Educators Workshop Many teachers successfully use primary sources to
engage and excite students about history, teach media literacy, and introduce
the art of historical research. The Montana Historical Society is making it easy
for Montana educators to harness The Power of Primary Sources in the Classroom.
In keeping with the conference theme, the workshop will focus on war
and resistance, from the Indian Wars through the Gulf War. Participants will
learn where to find and how to analyze primary sources relating Montanans’
experience during wartime, including material on the Library of Congress’s
American Memory and Veterans Oral History Project websites, the Montana
Historical Society’s website, and the Montana Memory Project website.
