"Clara H. Isaacman Memorial Trunk Project" The PHEC has developed two (2) trunks of Holocaust materials: one is appropriate for middle school and the other for high school. Each contains maps, reference materials, a classroom set of books, DVDs, nonfiction (memoirs and diaries) and fiction books. The trunk will become the property of the school and should be located in a centralized area such as the library or media center. Each piece will be catalogued by the library for its main collection with the site specified as the trunk, and the librarian will create a special list of trunk contents so materials can be checked in and out properly. One teacher or administrator should be named who will serve as the liaison between the school and the PHEC and oversee maintenance and usage of the trunk.

"The basic idea is that teachers and librarians can upload and share all of their lessons by re-creating them (cutting and pasting sometimes) online and then sharing them with the public. It's a bit more time consuming than just uploading your lessons, but that allows all of the lessons to be searchable and organized. I've been using it for awhile now, and while there aren't many library lessons out there now, there are more added every day. As an added bonus, for every 50 lessons you upload and share, you can get a $10 Starbucks gift card!"
