    Relying on primary sources is a very important lesson and skill that we need to develop in this world of social media and misinformation…this can help you learn how to “hook” kids’ interest by utilizing primary source material.

    I really got a lot out of this- I had seen many of these ideas before, but enjoyed the reminder of how powerful these techniques are for learning.

  4. Jacqueline – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked the use of primary sources, especially the use of pictures as a source of information. It can be a great source of more than a single event. It can also open up social behavior of a time period.
