November 19, 2020 marks the 157th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address and the Dedication of the Gettysburg National Military Park. This edWebinar is presented by the Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center, the site of the Civil War’s first battle. The museum’s Executive Director, Peter Miele, a former high school history educator and now a sought-after history lecturer, along with Kara Boehne, the library chair of the Cumberland Valley School District (PA), will share ideas and approaches for using museum-based resources to enrich and expand history explorations and understanding.
They’ll use examples of the free multimedia learning resources created by the Seminary Ridge Museum to illustrate the use of primary sources, museum artifacts, and contextual information in creating remote, hybrid, and onsite learning experiences for students. They’ll cover strategies for integrating museum resources into student research and independent learning projects and activities. Participants will receive free access to the museum’s growing portfolio of digital resources.
This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders. There will be time to get your questions answered at the end of the presentation.
