Looks pretty good! Sherry ------------------ While at the National Archives this past week, I was spotted a brochure with information I thought all would find interesting. The National Archives, in partnership with US NEWS and The History Channel, are sponsoring a vote by "we, the people" to determine what we think are the most significant documents in American history! They have selected 100 documents from American history, some of which I had never heard of, and transcribed them as well as put the actual images on-line. It is a breath-taking endeavor and very well put together! The home page with many background articles can be found immediately below: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/documents/document_main.htm For those of us who want to "cut to the chase" and view the documents themselves, that link is below: http://www.ourdocuments.gov/ Once at the above site, on the right side of the screen is a Navigation bar with the second item the link for the documents themselves. You will notice they have done some very neat stuff with the actual images. If you know any teachers please be sure to get these links to them. I think they will appreciate it. -------------------------------------- <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND http://www.edu-cyberpg.com VENDORS REACH THE EDUCATION MARKET FREE EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING Find PREMIUM & FEATURED MERCHANT LISTING ALSO http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Directory/default.asp HOT LIST OF SCHOOLS ONLINE http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Schools/default.asp SERVICES http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/PS/Home_Products.html Net Happenings,K12 Newsletters, Network Newsletters http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/index.html <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>
