Resource for the Week

I'm not sure how many plan on teaching in Florida... but I really like the website for the Florida Memory Project. It has a ton of photographs, videos (some I can't seem to work), exhibits, and class activities. I really like the idea of using this site to bring a topic home for your students. For example, while working on a civil rights unit in Tallahassee, teachers could bring up CK Steele and the bus boycott. I really wish more teachers would do this... because I especially love learning about local history!
