American Experience Online Launches New Resources for 2005
http://www.pbs.org/amex/

American Experience Online, the companion site to PBS'
acclaimed documentary series, has unveiled six new Web
sites. Ranging in subject from a controversial dictator
to a Hollywood pioneer, these new sites provide a wealth
of resources: rare film footage, interviews with filmmakers
and historians, online discussion areas, interactive games,
and in-depth teacher's guides, which provide suggestions
for active learning. These sites can be used to complement
the documentaries or on their own, to explore the exciting
stories that create the vibrant mosaic of American history.

ANNOUNCING:

National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.A.)
Applications to Conduct an NEH Seminar or Institute
in Summer 2006
Application Deadline: March 1, 2005.


Each summer the National Endowment for the Humanities supports faculty
development through residential seminars and institutes. These projects
are designed to provide teachers from across the nation with the opportunity
for intensive study of important texts and topics in the humanities.
Seminars and institutes are intended to foster excellent teaching by
encouraging collegial discussion of humanities topics within
close-knit scholarly communities.

They also promote active scholarship in the humanities in ways suited to
teachers at all levels from grade school through college.
Now is the time to draft a proposal to direct a seminar or institute,
or to contact a colleague whom you think might be interested in
developing a project. The NEH is supporting 28 projects for school teachers
and 32 for college and university faculty in the summer of 2005.
You may find lists of these projects on the NEH website at
http://www.neh.gov/projects/si-school.html
<http://www.neh.gov/projects/si-school.html>

(school teachers) and http://www.neh.gov/projects/si-university.html
<http://www.neh.gov/projects/si-university.html>  (college
and university teachers). If you or your colleagues would like to apply
to offer a seminar or institute in 2006, please be in touch with one of the NEH
program staff listed below to discuss your application. Program staff can
answer questions, discuss current program emphases, provide
samples of successful applications, and comment on an informal draft.
Staff can help anticipate questions that are likely to arise in the
review process.

The application guidelines can be found on the NEH website at
<http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/seminars.html> . Please note that
these new guidelines offer the opportunity to conduct seminars and
institutes that may be as short as two or three weeks. Additionally, the
director's compensation and the participants' stipends were increased
last year. If you have any questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to
call on the staff at the NEH Division of Education Programs. For general
questions, call Joyce Ferguson at 202-606-8463 or Jean Hughes at
202-606-8471, or contact one of the program officers listed below.

We look forward to working with you.
