ARC Guide for Educators and Students
The guide introduces educators and students to the National Archives' Archival Research Catalog (ARC). Searching in ARC to learn more about National Archives' historical documents could enrich a classroom activity, a homework assignment, or a research project. - Methodology I might follow with 8th graders who may serve as research experts to younger kids.

A small group of teachers and teacher educators recently started working together to figure out great lessons that take advantage of primary sources, in particular those from Gilder Leherman and the Library of Congress. We will be tagging all our stuff LOC. If you want to see or add to the materials we've found useful to share with one another, just use the tag. We are organizing our work in a wiki that you can also find tagged LOC. Here's to learning adventures. Lurk or join, we're happy to blow this open.

PBLnet is a long-standing pbl discussion board on yahoo groups founded in 2001. Do you use it? I find the archive very useful and go there to see what Diane McGrath, Bob Perleman and others are paying attention to. I just posted about the Diigo PBL group there-- hope for cross-pollination!
Because they behave 'as if they are experts', the children are working from a specific point of view as they explore their learning and this brings special responsibilities, language needs and social behaviours.
