Thank you for your interest in The Learning Page of The Library of
Congress. We have been busy, busy, busy!
HELP US IMPROVE THE LEARNING PAGE
As we continue to introduce new activities, features, and functionality to
The Learning Page, we'd like to know what you think. What works for you?
What content have you used in your classroom? What do you plan to use?
What would you like to see that isn't here yet? We have created short,
online surveys, one for each major part of The Learning Page, to collect
your responses. Please respond and help us to create a better product for
YOU!

THE APRIL COMMUNITY CENTER IS NOW AVAILABLE
In 1820, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I know of no safe depository of the
ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think
them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome
discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their
discretion." Join us as we share primary sources from the Library of
Congress to help inform tomorrow's citizens about civics and American
government.

CALLING ALL AUTHORS
Let us publish YOUR ideas in "The Source," an online newsletter written by
and for educators. Do you have a sure fire lesson or activity based on
primary sources that you can share? Submit a "Teaching Idea" article!
Perhaps exposure to new resources, like the American Memory collections,
has led you to a deeper understanding of the teaching and learning
process. Other educators can benefit from your new or evolved
understanding about the art of teaching or librarianship. Submit a
"Feature" article! Have you developed dynamite tips or tricks for using
multimedia items from the collections that would help other educators? Is
so, please submit a "Tech Tip" article!
