We've already announced the Library's first online conference for teachers, "The Library of Congress and Teachers: Unlocking the Power of Primary Sources," and here's what we're looking forward to!
"Imagine giving your students free, unlimited access to treasures from cultural institutions from around the world. Perhaps your students would examine an ancient manuscript up close for small but important details. Afterward, they might learn more about its significance from an expert, or search for additional items from the same time or place."
The World Digital Library can help make that vision a reality! Since we published that post about the WDL two years ago, the site has been updated and its collections have increased dramatically.
This post is excerpted from a reflection submitted by Janine D’Elia, a science educator from Virginia, who participated in a 2023 summer teacher institute at the Library of Congress. Applications for the summer 2024 onsite institutes are open until February 16.
Join us at the National Science Teachers Conference in Atlanta, Georgia and learn more about the resources the Library of Congress has that support science education.
