We have been restructuring the database and the organization of Digital History for the past three years, and we feel this makeover will significantly improve the usability of our materials. In our new interface, materials are organized by era, so users will easily be able to view many different types of resources for a particular era such as the textbook, images, primary sources, multimedia and teacher materials.

This is what it looks like and sounds like!!! Scenes from the Unquiet Library: Four Classes Researching, Learning, and Collaborating I'm always amazed by how beautifully classes co-exist in our learning space when we max out with four classes. I thought it would be fun this morning to capture a quick snapshot of what learning looks like at The Unquiet Library-moments like this are the happiest for me here in the library and validate the vision of a learning-centered library.

Best Children's Books of the Year, 2012 Center for Children's Literature

"The Com­mon Core State Stan­dards focus atten­tion on non­fic­tion and the skills nec­es­sary to pro­duce and inter­pret it. The iNK authors have been prac­tic­ing these skills through­out their careers and can pass on their knowl­edge of how to mas­ter them to your stu­dents. Use our books as men­tor texts, hear the author's voice as you learn con­tent, ask us how we con­duct our research and make deci­sions about what to include. Learn as we "unpack" our processes. In order to teach crit­i­cal think­ing, you need to give stu­dents some­thing to think about. So our books are aligned to National Cur­ricu­lum Stan­dards so it's easy to find inspir­ing and infor­ma­tive mate­r­ial on the sub­jects you're required to teach. Authors on Call can col­lab­o­rate with your teach­ers and stu­dents via a series of live, inter­ac­tive video­con­fer­ences so that together, every­one is fully immersed in the joy of learning."
